I'm Cert'nly Feelin' Bad 1904

The Scripture says that he who seeks
will some day surely find,
I have looked for 'bout ten years
till I'm almost blind,
Some how it seems
ev'ry dollar that I get
Lord knows I don't get many
slips away dime by dime
till I ain't got any
I've done most things
a man could do
in life to make my way,
and when I try to figure it out
there's one thing I must say.

I'm cert'nly feelin' bad
hard luck I sure have had
ev'ry thing with me goes wrong
some thing seems to tell me
that I can't last long
Worry work and strife
have been mine all thro' life
Oh Lordy goodness me O my
I'm cert'nly feelin' bad.

I'm cert'nly feelin' bad
hard luck I sure have had
ev'ry thing with me goes wrong
some thing seems to tell me
that I can't last long
Worry work and strife
have been mine all thro' life
Oh Lordy goodness me O my
I'm cert'nly feelin' bad.

The other night I asked my girl
if she would with me dine,
we enjoyed a real nice meal
and some sips of wine,
when the waiter brought his bill
to my surprise
I found I had no money,
tried to fix it with the man
mm but I felt funny
He says that con talk won't go down
you'll have to pay this debt
and what happened after that
I never will forget.

I'm cert'nly feelin' bad
hard luck I sure have had
ev'ry thing with me goes wrong
some thing seems to tell me
that I can't last long
Worry work and strife
have been mine all thro' life
Oh Lordy goodness me O my
I'm cert'nly feelin' bad.

I'm cert'nly feelin' bad
hard luck I sure have had
ev'ry thing with me goes wrong
some thing seems to tell me
that I can't last long
Worry work and strife
have been mine all thro' life
Oh Lordy goodness me O my
I'm cert'nly feelin' bad.
