Where the Downhearted Go - Jackie Greene

Ain’t it a shame to be falling in love

So late in the game, too late to catch

So I, I get strong

My heart can’t stand to be alone

I guess I go, I guess I go

Where the downhearted go

I had a girl, she was so good to me

But I was a fool

I asked her to leave

So I, I could be strong

But she’s got a new boy at home

I guess I go, oh I just go

Where the downhearted go

For the rest of my life

I’ve been selfish inside

She’s the only one

Could make me swallow my pride

But I, now I can see

But one of these days

She gon' belong back to me

Oh, baby

Ain’t it a shame, when you’re falling in love

You think you know pain

But it never lets up

So I, I get strong

My heart can’t stand to be alone

I guess I go, oh I get

Where the downhearted go

Where the downhearted go

Don’t let me go
