Jealous Hearted Blues Lyrics

Ma Rainey Jealous Hearted Blues

You can have my money : everything I own
But for God's sake : leave my man alone

It takes a rocking chair to rock : a rubber ball to roll
Takes a man I love : to satisfy my soul

Yes I'm jealous jealous : jealous‑hearted me
Lord I'm just jealous : jealous as I can be

Got a range in my kitchen : cooks nice and brown
All I need is my man : to turn my damper down

Going to buy me a bulldog : to watch me while I sleep
To keep my man : from making his midnight creep
