Seen Better Days Lyrics

I seen better days : when times wasn't so hard
Says my woman got mad : and drove me out of her yard
I wonder what can the matter : with poor Betsy Mae
Lord she got mad : and drove poor me away
Says I wonder what's the matter : with my troublesome mind
Says I must be thinking : about my woman I left behind
My woman she got something : works like sleeping pills
It takes all of my time : to try to keep my backbone still
That's why I can't keep from thinking : times I used to have
Sometime I think : Lord I declare I declare
