Jelly Bean Blues
Ma Rainey
If you ever wake up with your good man on your mind
If you ever wake up with your good man on your mind
My daddy left me this morning
That's why I moan and cry
He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry
He'll drive those blues away
You'll sit right down, you'll weep and moan
And then you'll finally say
Lord, I been wonderin' where my jelly bean has gone
I can see that man I love a thousand miles away
I just can't remember what my baby had to say
He said, see, see rider
Today I'm goin' away
And I won't be back until you've changed your ways
Oh daddy, this heartache, today that means goodbye
If you did not want me you had no right to lie
