You Don't Know My Mind Blues Songtext

I'm going to the racetrack to see my pony run If he won some money gonna take my good gals on Yeah, you don't know, you don't know my mind When you see me laughing I'm laughing just to keep from crying I left my frump standing in the door Lookin' after me a-crying say "You won't come back no more, sweet daddy" You don't know, you dont' know my mind When you see me laughing I'm laughing just to keep from crying When I asked my mama "Can you stand to say goodbye" She said "Yes, sweet papa, if you can stand to see me cry, Lord" You don't know, ooh my mind, hmmhmm Oh, when you see me laughing, honey, laughing just to keep from crying I got a handfull o' nickles, got a handfull o' dimes Got a housefull o' youngens and no one mindes Lord, you don't know, you don't know my mind And when you see me laughing I'm laughing just to keep from crying
