Ma Rainey — Bad Luck Blues

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Verse 3] Lord, look where the sun done gone Lord, Lord, look where the sun done gone Hey Lord, there's something going all wrong [Verse 4] What’s the use of livin', you can't get the man you love The use of livin’, you can't get the man you love You might as well just die, give your soul to the Maker above
