Big Boy Blues Lyrics by Ma Rainey

The Paramount Project Volume 6 (12500-12599)

0

Oh, run your daddy, tell me what's on your mind
Oh, run your daddy, tell me what's on your mind
Ah, it keeps me worried, even all this time

There's two things I can't understand
There's two things I can't understand
How these married women, baby, come to backdoor men

Oh, could it be, for Tooty! [?]
Oh, that's my backdoor man

I'm gonna come to mountain, going by the railroad tracks
I'm gonna come to mountain, going by the railroad tracks
I love my daddy, and I can't turn back

I got a letter this morning, it can read just right
I got a letter this morning, it can read just right
That's me, I'm leavin' to watch the streets all night
