Well see that woman comin’ down the line,
Long red dress and lookin’ so fine,
She’s laughin’ and a-jokin’ with all of the guys,
But when she come to me, she just pass me by.
I got them “ain’t had a smile from you in a long while” blues;
CHORUS:
I got them “ain’t had a smile from you in a long while” blues.
They sneak up and hit me on the side of the head,
Knock me down and leave me for dead;
I got them “ain’t had a smile from you in a long while” blues.
Tossin’ and turnin’ and begging for sleep,
Tryin’ to forget you by counting sheep;
Over the fence they go two by two,
But then they all stop to have a look at you;
I got them “ain’t had a smile from you in a long while” blues.
Oh what did I do, what did I say,
To cause you to treat me in this way;
I feel like a hound dog chained to a rock,
Come on pretty baby take me for a walk.
I got them “ain’t had a smile from you in a long while” blues. [CHORUS]
Winter’s a-comin’, gonna be real cold,
Seep right in, make your bones feel old;
But together so warm I know we’d be,
‘Cause you’d start a fire when you smile at me.
But it’s the “ain’t had a smile from you in a long while blues”. [CHORUS]
FINALE: I ain’t had a smile from you —
I ain’t had a smile from you —
I ain’t had a smile from you in a long while blues.
