"Hattie Blues from Big Bill Broonzy Version1
(lyrics transcription by Bonnie Glass-Coffin and Bill Glass)
I gotta a gal named Hattie,
and she was so sweet to me.
I had a girl named Hattie,
and she was so sweet to me.
Lord, now she's gone and left me
Oh, left me in misery
And I started drinkin' gamblin'
Baby, since you strolled away.
Yes I started drinkin' gamblin'
Baby, since you strolled away.
Lord, how you sow, baby
So shall you reap, someday
You got me cryin' Lord have mercy
Where can little Hattie be.
Woooooooo
Where can little Hattie be.
Now please, I don’t be proud
And send Hattie back to me.
I've got forgiveness from on high,
Paid for what I've done to you.
I've got forgiveness from on high,
Lord for what I've done to you.
Now Hattie if you had a heart baby,
You would forgive me too.
I can't sleep at night,
I can't eat a bite,
I gotta funny feelin' tell me,
I didn't treat you right.
Oh Hattie,
Say, will you please come back to me.
Girl I can't sleep at night baby,
Ooooh girl I've lost my appetite.
