My Man Blues

My Man Blues - Bessie Smith (貝西·史密斯)

Clara: who was that man I saw you with the other day

Bessie: that was my smooth black daddy that we call Charlie Gray

Don't you know that's my man

Yes that's a fact

I ain't seen your name printed up and down his back

You better let him be

What old gal

Because you ain't talkin' to me

That's my man I want him for my own

(Spoken: No No )

He's my sweet daddy

You'd better leave that man alone

See that suit he's got on

I bought it last week

I've been buyin' clothes for five years for that is my black sheik

Is that you honey

(Charlie) 'Tain't nobody but who's back here

It sounds like Charlie

It is my man sweet papa Charlie Gray

Your man

How do you git that way

Now look here honey I been had that man for umpteen year

Child didn't I turn your damper1 down

Yes Clara and I've cut you every way but loose

Well you might as well be get it fixed

Well then

I guess we got to have him on cooperation plan

I guess we got to have him on cooperation plan

(Spoken: Bessie Clara )

Ain't nothin' different 'bout that rotten two

Time man

How about it

Suits me

Suits me

Well then
