Bessie Smith - Sorrowful Blues (Original Recordings, 1924)

Rocking Chair Blues

Did you ever wake up
With sorrow all on your mind?
Did you ever wake up
With sorrow all on your mind?

He plays the blues to his congregation
Hear his trombone whine
He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry
He'll sit right down and moan

He'll weep and moan
Till I hear him say
Lord, I wonder where my
Loving man is gone

Easy rider, you see, I'm going away
I won't be back until you change your ways
I won't be back until you change your ways

I'm going to the river
Carryin' a brand new rocking chair
I'm going to the river
Carryin' a brand new rocking chair

I'm gonna ask Mister Tadpole
To move all his stuff from here

Blues jumped a rabbit
Run him for a solid mile
Blues jumped a rabbit
Run him for a solid mile

The rabbit turned over
And cried like a natural cry
