Eavesdropper's Blues lyrics

I heard the folks were talking here yesterday
As I listened by the door
Would eavesdrop 'cause they never hear no good, they say
And I heard things that hurt me so

They said I had a man I give my money to
They said I had a man I give my money to
And if I was broke he would turn my eyes all blue
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bessie_smith/eavesdroppers_blues.html ]
They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye
They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye

They said he was a sinner and was too mean to cry

I never knock nobody, wonder why they picked on me
I never knock nobody, wonder why they picked on me
There's goin' to be a funeral if they don't let me be

I never stopped to listen, to try and hear no good news
I never stopped to listen, to try and hear no good news
I hear things about me, give me those eavesdropper's blues
