South Bound Blues Lyrics

Ma Rainey South Bound Blues

[Verse]
Yes, I'm mad, my heart's sad
The man I love treats me so bad
He brought me out of my hometown
Took me to New York and throwed me down
Without a cent to pay my rent
I'm left alone without a home
I told him I was leavin' and my time ain't long
My folks done sent me money, and I'm Dixie bound

[Chorus]
Oh, you done me wrong, you throwed me down
You caused me to weep and to moan
I told him I'd see him, honey, some these days
Then I'm going to tell him 'bout his low-down, dirty ways
Done bought my ticket, Lord, and my trunk is packed
Going back to Georgia, folks, I sure ain't comin' back
My train's at the station, I done sent my folks the news
You can tell the world I've got those South bound blues
[Chorus]
Done have a ticket, Lord, and my trunk is packed
Going back to Georgia, folks, mama sure ain't comin' back
My train's at the station, I done sent my folks the news
You can tell the world I've got those South bound blues
