Ma Rainey Bad Luck Blues
Hey people : listen while I sing my news
I want to tell you people : all about my bad‑luck blues
Did you ever wake up : just at the break of day
With your arms around the pillow : where your daddy used
to lay
Lord Lord : look where the sun done gone
Hey Lord : there's something going on wrong
What's the use of living : can't get the man you love
You might as well die : give your soul to the man far
above
