Moonshine Blues (Take 2)

Moonshine Blues - Ma Rainey

Written by：Gertrude Rainey/Rr

Hold him Luke he must be a bootlegger

I've been drinking all night babe and the night

Before

But when I get sober I ain't gonna drink no more

'Cause my friend's left me standing in my door

My head goes round and around babe since

My baby left town

I don't know if the river's running up or down

But that one thing certain is mama's going to

Leave town

You'll find me reeling and a rocking howling

Like a hound

Catch the first train that's running southbound

Oh stop you'll hear me saying

Stop right through my brain

Oh stop that train

So I can ride back home again

Here I'm upon my knees

Play that again for me

'Cause I'm about to be a losing my mind

Boys I can't stand up I can't sit down

The man I love has done left town

I feel like screaming I feel like crying lord

I've been mistreated folks and don't mind I'm

Dying

I'm going home I'm going to settle down

I'm going to stop my running around

Tell everybody that comes my way

I've got those

Moonshine

Blues I say

I've got those moonshine blues
