The page contains the lyrics of the song "Southern Blues" by Ma Rainey.
Lyrics
House catches fire: ain’t no water around
Throw your trunk out the window: let it burn on down
I went to the Gypsy: to have my fortune told
He said doggone you girlie: doggone your bad‑luck soul
I turned around: went to the Gypsy next door
She say you can get a man: anywhere you go Let me be your rag doll: until your China comes
If he beats me ragging: he’s got to rag it some
