Memphis Bound Blues Lyrics

Ma Rainey Memphis Bound Blues

You've got to drift to leave me : you're going to leave
your home some day

You have got me : and Memphis *is all I've got to say*

You can fly up high : you can ??? all alone

But when you get to love her : you got to come back to

Some *fool's* born with rickets : some *fool's* born with
pain

But I'm here to tell you : when you leave me *all is the
same*

I talk because I'm stubborn : I sing because I'm *sick*


My man is gone and left me : gone to Memphis Tennessee
