Bessie Smith - Please Help Me Get Him Out Of My Mind Lyrics

Artist: Bessie Smith

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Bessie Smith

I've cried and worried, all night and I laid and groaned
I've cried and worried, all night and I laid and groaned
I used to weigh two hundred now I'm down to skin and bones
It's all about a man who always kicked and dogged me 'round

It's all about a man who always kicked and dogged me 'round
And when I try to kill him that's when my love for him comes down
I've come to see you gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees
I've come to see you gypsy, beggin' on my bended knees

That man's put something on me, oh take it off of me, please
It starts at my forehead and goes clean down to my toes
It starts at my forehead and goes clean down to my toes
Oh, how I'm sufferin' gypsy, nobody by the good Lord knows

Gypsy, don't hurt him, fix him for me one more time
Oh, don't hurt him gypsy, fix him for me one more time
Just make him love me, but, please man, take him off my mind
