Ma Rainey — Last Minute Blues

[Verse 1] Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days It seem like my daddy won't stop his evil ways [Verse 2] Seem like every minute's going to be my last Seem like every minute's going to be my last If I can't tell my future I won't tell my past [Verse 3] The brook runs into the river, river runs into the sea The brook run into the river, river run into the sea If I don't run into my daddy, somebody'll have to bury me [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] If anybody asks you who wrote this lonesome song If anybody asks you who wrote this lonesome song Tell 'em you don't know the writer, but Ma Rainey put it on
