Ma Rainey — Yonder Come The Blues

[Verse 1] I worry all day, I worry all night Every time my man comes home, he wants to fuss and fight When I pick up the paper to read the news Just when I'm satisfied, yonder come the blues [Verse 2] I went down to the river each and every day Tryin' to keep from cryin' and grieve myself away I walked and walked 'til I wore out my shoes I can't walk no further, yonder come the blues [Verse 3] Some folks never worry, things all goin' alright Poor me, lie down and suffer, weep and cry all night When I get a letter, it never brings good news Every time I see the mailman, yonder come the blues [Verse 4] Go back, blues, don't come this way Lordy, give me something else besides the blues all day Every man I've loved, I've been refused And when I want some lovin', yonder come the blues [Verse 5] People have different blues and think they're mighty bad But blues about a man, the worst I've ever had I've been disgusted and all confused Every time I look around, yonder come the blues
