Carter Family – Broken-Hearted Me lyrics

JEALOUS-HEARTED ME (Carter Family)

E
Takes a rocking chair to rock, takes a rubber ball to roll,

E7
Takes the man I love to satisfy my soul,
A E
Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.
B7 E
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be.

[Instrumental break]


Got a stove in the kitchen and it bakes nice and brown,

But I need a papa to turn the damper down,
Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be

[Instrumental break]


You can have my money, you can have my home,

But for goodness’ sakes, women, let my man alone,
Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be

[Instrumental break]


Gonna buy me a bulldog to watch while I sleep,

To watch that man of mine on his midnight creep,
Because I'm jealous, jealous-hearted me.
I said I'm jealous, jealous as I can be

[Instrumental outtro]
