Eavesdropper's Blues - Bessie Smith[00:00:02]
I heard the folks were talking here yesterday[00:00:19]
As I listened by the door[00:00:26]
Would eavesdrop 'cause they never hear no good they say[00:00:32]
And I heard things that hurt me so[00:00:38]
They said I had a man I give my money to[00:00:44]
They said I had a man I give my money to[00:00:56]
And if I was broke he would turn my eyes all blue[00:01:08]
They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye[00:01:21]
They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye[00:01:33]
They said he was a sinner and was too mean to cry[00:01:45]
I never knock nobody wonder why they picked on me[00:01:57]
I never knock nobody wonder why they picked on me[00:02:09]
There's goin' to be a funeral if they don't let me be[00:02:21]
I never stopped to listen to try and hear no good news[00:02:33]
I never stopped to listen to try and hear no good news[00:02:45]
I hear things about me give me those eavesdropper's blues[00:02:56]
