Текст песни Ma Rainey - Slave To The Blues

Ain't robbed no train
Ain't done no hanging crime

It's that I'm a slave to the blues
Even ??? that man of mine

Blues do tell me
Do I have to die a slave

Do you hear me screaming
You're going to take me to my grave

If I could break these chains
And let my worried heart go free
Well it's too late now
The blues have made a slave of me

You see me raving
You hear me crying
Oh Lord
This wounded heart of mine

Folks I'm a‑grieving
From my head to my shoes
I'm a good‑hearted woman
But still I'm chained to the blues
