Ma Rainey — Oh My Babe Blues

[Verse 1] Some these days, I'm going to leave my home Oh my babe Now I'll go, I'm going, and it won't be long If I go, let me go If I stay, let me say Maybe I'll ask, "Let me come back home" [Verse 2] Tell my dad I won't be home tonight Oh my babe My heart my aches and I'm not treated right My heart's down, it's a shame And I just can't call his name Still I'll ask to let me come back home [Verse 3] Lordy, Lord, have mercy on poor me Oh my babe Send somebody to let my heart go free When I go, leavе me alone And I'll stay from my home Tеll my dad I want to come back home [Verse 4] I'm leavin' now, I'm sorry we have to part Oh my babe 'Cause you tried to break my aching heart But someday you will say "Come back home," babe, someday Then I'll know my dad wants me back home
