As recorded by FRANK CRUMIT:
I used to bless the day I first met you
I planned so many things for just us two
But now it's plain to see
That you have never cared for me
You can't deny you fooled me from the start
???? us depart before you break my heart
I used to love you but it's all over
All over now
You know it's all over town that you threw me down
But you shouldn't let that kind of story go 'round
'Cause you had your chance and now it's all over
I'll get along somehow
There are some things that you did I used to forgive
But you'll never change just as long as you live
I used to love you but it's all over
All over now
I never would believe the things I'd hear
Because I always thought you were sincere
But now I find I'm wrong
For you've been flirting right along
You will admit I acted on the square
??? ???? you don't care ???? ???? ?????
I used to love you but it's all over
All over now
You know it's all over town that you threw me down
And you shouldn't let that kind of story go 'round
'Cause you had your chance and now it's all over
I'll get along somehow
There are some things that you did I used to forgive
But you'll never change just as long as you live
I used to love you but it's all over
All over now

As recorded by JIMMIE LUNCEFORD & His Orch.:
I used to love you but it's all over,
All over now!
You know it's all over town
That you turned me down,
But you shouldn't let that kind of story go 'round!
For you had your chance but now it's all over,
I'll get along somehow!
Now there are things that you did
I used to forgive,
But you'll never change just as long as you live!
I used to love you but it's all over,
All over now!

I used to love you, but it's all over
All over now
You know it's all over town that you threw me down
I didn't think you'd let that kind of story go 'round
You've had your chance and now it's all over
I'll get along somehow
Now there are things that you did I used to forgive
But you'll never change just as long as you live
I used to love you, but it's all over
All over now

You've had your chance, now it's all over

Now there are things that you did I used to forgive
You'll never change as long as you live

All over now

As recorded by DELLA REESE:
Tried to treat you sweet
Always tender and nice
But you keep lettin' the folks outside
Give you all that good advice
You see, I just wanted to love you
Ah, but your head's made of wood
And I can see I'm gonna have to leave you, Daddy
'Cause you just ain't no good
Now, there are things that you did
I tried to forgive
But I see now you will never change
It doesn't matter just how long you live
And I'm tellin' you
I used to love you, but it's all over
All over now
You see, it's all over town that you threw me down
But you shouldn't let that kind of of story go flyin' around
You've had your chance and now it's all over
I'll get along somehow
Oh, there were things that you did I used to forgive
But you'll never change just as long as you live
And I'm tellin' you
I used to love you, but it's all over
All over now
I really tried to treat you sweet
I was always tender and nice
But you kept lettin' the folks outside
Give you all that good advice
Now, I just wanted to love you
Ah, but your head's made of wood
And I can see I'm gonna have to leave you, Daddy
'Cause you ain't no doggone good
Now, there are things that you did
Lord knows I tried to forgive
But you just never change
I don't care how long you live
And ah...
I used to love you, but it's all over
Aah, that's over now
