Bad Luck Blues

Bad Luck Blues - Ma Rainey

Hey people listen while I spread my news

Hey people listen while I spread my news

I wanna tell you people all about my bad luck blues

Did you ever wake up just at the break of day

Did you ever break up just at the wake of day

With your arms around the pillow where your daddy used to lay

Lord look where the chump's done gone

Lord Lord look where the time's done gone

Hey Lord there's something going all wrong

What's the use of living if you can't get the man you love

The use of living if you can't get the man you love

You might as well go die give your soul to the Maker above
