Lost Wandering Blues

Lost Wandering Blues - Ma Rainey

I'm leaving this morning

With my clothes in my hand

I'm leaving this morning

With my clothes in my hand

I won't stop to wandering

Till i find my man

I'm sitting here wondering

Will a matchbox hold my clothes

I'm sitting here wondering

Will a matchbox hold my clothes

I've got a sun to beat

I'll be farther beyond the road

I went up on the mountain

Turned my face to the sky

I went up on the mountain

Turned my face to the sky

I heard the wind say

It said mama please don't die

I turned around

Looked into my right hand

I turned around

Looked into my right hand

Well i looked there to see

If i was closer to my man

Lord look a yonder people

My love had been refused

Lord look a yonder people

My love had been refused

That's the reason why

Mama's got the lost wandering blues
