Ma Rainey — Last Minute Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Minutes seem like hours: hours seem like days
It seem like my daddy: won’t stop his evil ways
Seem like every minute: is going to be my last
If I can’t tell my future: I will tell my past
The brook runs into the river: river runs into the sea
If I don’t run into daddy: somebody’ll have to bury me If anybody asks you: who wrote this lonesome song
Tell them you don’t know the writer: but Ma Rainey put
it on
