Yonder Come the Blues

Yonder Come the Blues(Take 1) - Ma Rainey

I worry all day I worry all night

Every time my man comes home

He wants to fuss and fight

When I pick up the paper to read about the news

Just as I'm satisfied

Yonder comes the blues

I went down to the river each and every day

Trying to keep from crying' and do my self away

I walked and walked till I wore out my shoes

I can't walk no further

Yonder comes the blues

Some folks never worry

Things all go all right

Or lay down on that sofa

Weep and cry all night

When I get a letter

It never brings good news

Every time I see the mail babe

Yonder comes the blues

Go back blues don't come this way

Oughta give me something else

Beside the blues all day

Every man I love I've been refused

And when I want some loving yonder comes the blues

People have different blues

And think their mighty bad

But blues that bother me are the worst

I've ever had

I've been disgusted and all confused

Every time I look around yonder come those blues
