Miss Anna Brown Lyrics by Alberta Hunter

Alberta Hunter: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 2 (1923-1924)

0

[Verse]
Anna Brown from my hometown
Was blue as any gal could be
When her man went 'way this morn'
Bound for Tennessee
She came screamin', screamin' with fear
Screamin' "Sweet Papa, don't you leave me here"
He shook his head and started on his way
Miss Anna sighed, Miss Anna cried
And then I heard her say
[Chorus]
"Daddy, you'll come back some sweet day
When your hair is turnin' gray
You're gonna miss me, you'll want to kiss me
And then you're sorry that you ever tried to quit me
Look where the sun has gone
I know the time ain't long
When you return, I'll still be Miss Anna Brown"
[Instrumental Break]
Play that thing, Lovie
[Chorus]
Daddy, when the snow beings to fall
And you have no gal at all
You'll think about me, though you may doubt me
You'll find it awfully hard to get along without me
When your mama turns you down
And your feet are on the ground
When you return, I'll still be Miss Anna Brown
