Sissy Blues Lyrics

Ma Rainey Sissy Blues

[Verse 1]
I dreamed last night I was free from harm
Going home tonight I won't carry no more
"Hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"

[Verse 2]
I dreamed last night I was far from harm
Woke up and found my man in a sissy's arms
"Hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"

[Verse 3]
Some are young, some are old
My man says sissy's got good jelly roll
"Hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"

[Verse 4]
My man got a sissy, his name is Miss Kate
He shook that thing like jelly on a plate
"Hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"

[Verse 5]
Now all the people ask me why I'm all alone
A sissy shook that thing and took my man from me
"Hello, Central, it's 'bout to run me wild
Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?"
