Blind Lemon Jefferson Sad News Blues
I got a letter : I got a letter here in my hand
My brown wrote to tell me sad news : she got a brand new
man
I'm a long long way from home : I ain't got no *lover* in
town
I'm going to get that *B and M* to Baltimore boy : I
heard my baby *is there*
I was drinking all night [long] : got up this morning
sloppy drunk
I would pack my things : but somebody done stole my trunk
I went uptown last night : I tried drinking hard to ease
my pain
But you ain't got no money : so don't come back here
again
It's sad news : when your baby's ing on you
Even though you been kind : there's nothing that you can
do
