Taj Mahal - Mean Old World Lyrics

This is a mean old world, honey, tryin' to live in by yourself
Now it's a mean old world, yeah, tryin' to live in by yourself
When the one you've been lovin', ooh, fell in love with somebody else

Blues with a feeling, honey, that's what I have today
Blues with a feeling, what I have today
I wanna love you so good, baby
Honey, 'til I love all your hurtin' away

Ain't it hard to love somebody who claims on God they don't love you?
Oh, you'd be broken hearted
Ain't it hard to love somebody who claims on God they don't love you?
Leave you sad and lonely, broken hearted, blue

You caused a rumbling and I caused the fallin' down
You caused that rumbling, honey, I call it deeper fallin' down
One night you hurt me, baby, all because it was deep down in the ground

Sometime I wonder why do your love be so cold
Sometime I wonder why do your love be so cold
Hurt me deep down inside, momma, drove an ice-pick down in my soul

Well, I can't sleep at night, can't nap through the day
Nothing but a mess, baby, that's why I need to say
A mean old world, honey, try livin' by yourself
Just a mean old world, baby, try livin' by yourself
When the one you've been lovin', ooh, ooh, with somebody else
