Ma Rainey — Honey Where You Been So Long?

[Verse] My honey left me, he's gone away I've had the worried blues all day My heart is achin' all for that man What makes me love him I can't understand He'll soon be returnin' and glad tidings he will bring Then I'll throw my arms around him, then begin to sing [Chorus] Honey, where you been so long? Honey, where you been so long? Ever since the day The day you went away I've been cryin', felt like dyin' I'm not ashamed to say Never thought you'd treat me wrong Look how you have dragged mе down I have been almost insane But I'm so glad to see you home again Honеy, where you been so long? [Chorus] Never thought you would treat me wrong Look how you have dragged me down I have been almost insane But dad, I'm so glad to see you home again Honey, where you been so long?
