Lyrics for Song: I Ain't Gonna Be Your Fool (1938)
Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1937-47, Vol. 1-(1937-40) [1992]
I work all day long for you until the sun go down.
I work all day long for you, baby, 'til sun up until the sun go down.
And you take all my money and drink it up, and come home and wants to fuss and clown.
I work for you so many times when I really was too sick to go.
I work for you baby, when your man was slippin' in my back door.
I can see for myself so take your back door man, I won't be your fool no more.
I worked for you baby, when snow was above my knees.
I worked for you baby, when ice and snow was on the ground.
Tryin' to make you happy, and you chasin' every man in town.
It hurts to love a person that don't belong to you.
It hurts to love a person that don't belong to you.
'Cause when they find out that you really love them, an' 'ey don't care what they do.
They'll take you heart and they'll use it like a football on a football ground.
They'll take you heart and they'll use it like a football on a football ground.
And when they get through playing with your heart, an' 'll start flagging your heart around.
