Ma Rainey — Jealous Hearted Blues lyrics

Lyrics

You can have my money, baby, everything I own
But for God sakes leave my man alone
'cause I’m jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me.
Lord I’m just jealous
Jealous as I can be It takes a rocking chair to rock, a rubber ball to roll
Takes a man I love to satisfy my soul
Yes I’m jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me Lord I’m just jealous
Jealous as I can be Got a range in my kitchen, cooks nice and brown
All I need is my man, to turn my damper down
Because I’m jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me Lord I’m just jealous
Jealous as I can be Going to buy me a bulldog, to watch him while I sleep
Just to keep my man from making his midnight creep.
Yes I’m jealous, jealous
Jealous hearted me Lord I’m just jealous
Jealous as I can be
