Ma Rainey - Memphis Minnie

I was thinking about Ma Rainey

Wonder where could Ma Rainey be

I been looking for her even been 'n old Tennessee

She was born in Georgia

Traveled all over this world

She was born in Georgia

Traveled all over this world

And she's the best blues singer

Peoples I ever heard

When she made Bo Weavil Blues

I was living way down the line

When she made Bo Weavil Blues

I was living way down the line

Every time I hear that record

I just couldn't keep from crying

Hmmmm hmmmmm

Hmmmm hmmmmm

Hmmmm hmmmmmmmm

People it sure look lonesome since Ma Rainey been gone

People it sure look lonesome since Ma Rainey been gone

But she left little Minnie to carry the good works on
