Ma Rainey — Lost Wandering Blues

[Verse 1] I'm leavin' this mornin' with my clothes in my hand Lord,  I'm leavin' this mornin' with my clothes in my hand I  won't stop goin' 'til I find my man [Verse 2] I'm standin' here wonderin' will a matchbox hold my clothes? Lord, I'm standin' here wonderin' will a matchbox hold my clothes? I  got a trunk too big to be bothered with on the road [Verse 3] I  went up on the mountain, turned my face to the sky Lord, I went up on the mountain, turned my face to the sky I  heard a whisper, it said "Mama, please don't die" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I turned around to give him my right hand Lord, I turned around to give him my right hand When I looked in his face, I was talkin' to my man [Verse 5] Lord,  let me yonder, people, my love has been refused, Lord I said let me yonder, people, my love has been refused That's the reason why mama's got them lost wanderin' blues
