Bad Luck Blues Lyrics by Ma Rainey

Ma Rainey: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 1

0

[Verse 1]
Hey people, listen while I spread my news
Hey people, listen while I spread my news
I wanna tell you people all about my bad luck blues

[Verse 2]
Did you ever wake up just at the break of day?
Did you ever break up just at the wake of day?
With your arms around the pillow where your daddy used to lay?

[Verse 3]
Lord, look where the sun done gone
Lord, Lord, look where the sun done gone
Hey Lord, there's something going all wrong

[Verse 4]
What’s the use of livin', you can't get the man you love
The use of livin’, you can't get the man you love
You might as well just die, give your soul to the Maker above
