Misery Blues Songtext
von Ma Rainey

I love my brownskin, ′deed I do
But there was no use of me being a fool
I'm gonna tell you what I went and done
I gave him all my money just to have some fun
He told me that he love me, love me so
If I would marry him, I needn′t work no more
Now I'm bleedin', almost dyin′
Just because I didn′t know that he was lyin'

I′ve got the blues
I've got the blues
I′ve got those misery blues


No more brownskinnies done left town
Goodbye dearies, you used to be so daring
So long, honey, took all my money
I'm worried, worried so

I′ve got the blues
Down in my shoes
I've got those misery blues

I've got to go to work now, get another start
Work is the thing that′s breaking my heart
I′ve got those mean old misery blues

I've got the blues
I′ve got the blues
I've got those misery blues

I′ve got to go to work now, get another start
Work is the thing that's breaking my heart
I′ve got those mean old misery blues
