Nobody Cares For Me
by 
Mississippi John Hurt 
recording of April 2-4 1963 
from 
Worried Blues (Rounder CD-1082) 
Lonesome is I, wished I could die 
Nobody cares for me 
Lonesome is I, wished I could die 
Nobody cares for me 
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright, 
when you and I made love 
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you, 
I moaned like a turtle dove 
Lonesome is I, wished I could die 
Nobody cares for me 
Lonesome is I, wished I could die 
Nobody cares for me 
I'm coming home, no more to roam, 
darling I'm coming home 
I'm coming home, no more to roam, 
darling I'm coming home 
Lonesome is I, wished I could die 
Nobody cares for me 
Lonesome is I, wished I could die 
Nobody cares for me 
It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright, 
when you and I made love 
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you, 
I moaned like a turtle dove
