Ma Rainey — South Bound Blues

[Verse] Yes, I'm mad, my heart's sad The man I love treats me so bad He brought me out of my hometown Took me to New York and throwed me down Without a cent to pay my rent I'm left alone without a home I told him I was leavin' and my time ain't long My folks done sent me money, and I'm Dixie bound [Chorus] Oh, you done me wrong, you throwed me down You caused me to weep and to moan I told him I'd see him, honey, some these days Then I'm going to tell him 'bout his low-down, dirty ways Done bought my ticket, Lord, and my trunk is packed Going back to Georgia, folks, I sure ain't comin' back My train's at the station, I done sent my folks the news You can tell the world I've got those South bound blues [Chorus] Done have a ticket, Lord, and my trunk is packed Going back to Georgia, folks, mama sure ain't comin' back My train's at the station, I done sent my folks the news You can tell the world I've got those South bound blues
