Ma Rainey — Bad Luck Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Hey people: listen while I sing my news
I want to tell you people: all about my bad‑luck blues
Did you ever wake up: just at the break of day
With your arms around the pillow: where your daddy used
to lay
Lord Lord: look where the sun done gone
Hey Lord: there’s something going on wrong
What’s the use of living: can’t get the man you love
You might as well die: give your soul to the man far
above
