Can't you see, now can't you see
Honey, what you've done to poor me
You see my tears, you see my tears
I've been lonesome for years
A little smile, a little smile
Will last for a long, long while, my baby

The doctor says I can't live long
And when I'm dead, I'll be a long time gone
And when I die, I'll go before the judgment bar
And you'll be 'cused of murder because you broke my heart
Now I'm not lyin' just because I'm dyin'
I know that is bad, bad news, babe
But anybody should ask, you tell 'em just what you do
That woman's got them dyin' bluеs, I say
That woman's got them dyin' blues
