- Songwriters: Bessie Smith
I was with you, baby, when you didn't have a dime
I was with you, baby, when you didn't have a dime
Now since you got plenty of money
You have throwed your good gal down
Once ain't for always, two ain't for twice
Once ain't for always, two ain't for twice
When you get a good gal
You'd better treat 'em nice
When you were lonesome, I tried to treat you kind
When you were lonesome, I tried to treat you kind
But since you've got money
It doesn't change your mind
I'm goin' to leave, baby, I ain't gonna say goodbye
I'm goin' to leave, baby, I ain't gonna say goodbye
But I'll write you
And tell you the reason why
Days are lonesome, nights are long
Days are lonesome, nights are so long
I'm a good old gal
But I just been treated wrong
In the Know
