Last Minute Blues Lyrics

Ma Rainey Last Minute Blues

Minutes seem like hours : hours seem like days
It seem like my daddy : won't stop his evil ways

Seem like every minute : is going to be my last
If I can't tell my future : I will tell my past

The brook runs into the river : river runs into the sea
If I don't run into daddy : somebody'll have to bury me

If anybody asks you : who wrote this lonesome song
Tell them you don't know the writer : but Ma Rainey put
it on
