R B BLUES
(Ruth Brown)

recorded by Ruth Brown
1953


Ohhh, it's over, all over,
Don't have to cry no more,
'Cause the reason for my cryin'
Is walkin' out my door!

I'm glad, so glad baby,
I'm glad as I can be
That I found out
How you've been cheatin' me!

Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Just be sorry for yourself,
'Cause the things I've done for you
I'll do for somebody else!

So no, no no no no no tears baby,
I'm glad as I can be!
No, don't slam the door behind you,
Just go and let me be!
