Blind Lemon Jefferson - The Blues History - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Sad News Blues

I'm sittin' here moanin', I have the letter here in my hand
Mmmmm-mmmm-mmm, I've got a letter here in my hand
My faro wrote to tell me, my baby's got a brand new man

I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare
I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare
I'm gonna beat that B&O into Baltimore, for I heard my baby was there

I was drinkin' all night, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk
Drinkin' all night long, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk
I would pack my things, but somebody done stole my trunk

I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain
I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain
Said, "You ain't got no money, so don't come back here again"

It's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you
I say, it's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you
When you know you've been doin' the very best you could do

"'Version2 (21133-1) January 1929"'

I'm sittin' here moanin', got a letter here in my hand
Mmm, letter here in my hand
My faro wrote to tell me, my baby's got a brand new man

I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare
I'm miles away from home, I ain't got no railroad fare
I'm gonna beat that B&O into
Baltimore, because I know my baby is there

I was drinkin' all night long, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk
Drinkin' all night long, got up this mornin' sloppy drunk
I would pack my clothes, somebody's done stole my trunk

I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain
I met a brown last night, I tried to get her to ease my pain
"You ain't got no money, don't come back here again"

It's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you
I say, it's sad news when your baby's tramplin' on you
When you know you have done the very best you can do
