I'm Going Back to My Used to Be (1923) - Clara Smith

I feel sad

You feel blue

I can hardly sleep at night

For your man was sore all the time

And I know I didn’t treat him right

You’re going back to your first love

'Cause a good man is hard to find

I say you’ll have such a grand good man

Believe me he is sure on my mind

I’m going back

Yeah, you carrying it on back

I’m going back to my used to be

You’re going back

I’m going back, 'cause my man was sure good to me

When last winter when times was rough

Look out there, Clara

You know your man was in the pool yard

Strutting his stuff

I’m going back

Clara, you say you’re going back

I’m going back to my used to be

And it’s this morning

Back to my used to be

What can you use him for

Crazy about my used to be

He ain’t good-looking

I love my used to be
