A excellent blues song by harpist/vocalist Sonny Terry and guitarist/vocalist Brownie McGhee (though for this track, it's simply Brownie on guitar and vocals) from their album "The 1958 London Sessions". It is also known under the title "That's How I Feel", according to some lyric websites.
Lyrics:
If you ever, ever been down
Well, you know just how I feel,
oh, Lord, I say you, you know just how I feel
Oh, well, I feel just like an engine
Ain't got no drivin' wheel,
oh, Lord, I say, ain't got no drivin' wheel
You don't believe, don't believe I'm sinkin'
Look what a hole I'm in,
oh, Lord, I say, look what a hole I'm in
You don't believe, don't believe I love you
Look what a fool I've been,
oh, Lord, God knows what a fool I've been
That's the way, the way I feel
And I can't help but feel that way,
oh, Lord, God knows I can't help but feel that way
Well, it's your, your time now darlin'
It'll be my time some sweet day,
oh, Lord, God knows, be my time someday
Play it for me...
Some people, they think I'm happy
But they sure don't know my mind,
oh, Lord, God knows it, sure don't know my mind
Well, when you see, you see me laughin'
Laughin' just to keep from cryin',
oh yes, well, I'm laughin' to keep from cryin'
Some people, they don't know
'Cause see a smile on my face,
oh, Lord, they see a smile on my face
Well, it's your, your time now
But it's gonna be mine someday,
oh yes, well, it's gonna be mine someday.
this is the song brian may heard and based the seven seas of rhye b-side, "see what a fool i've been" on.
