Bessie Smith - Blue blues

Blue, blue, I got a tale to tell you, I'm blue Something comes over me, daddy, and I'm blue about you Listen to my story, and ev'rything'll come out true When your man is gone, your rent is all due,he's not coming back, you know he's all thru You weep and cry, feel like you could die If you was a bird you'd take wings and fly There is one thing that'll make you blue When you ain't got a daddy to tell your troubles to Step right out and sing, start right in to wing Keep feelin' in your heart, you start right in to drink If you've ever been blue, you know a woman feels If you've ever been blue, you know a good woman feels You're a worried child, honey, yes indeed Blue, blue, I got a tale to tell you, I was blue Something fell on me, daddy, I was blue over you You done listen to my story, and ev'rything come out true
