- Farewell, Daddy Blues
I'm wild about my daddy. I want him all the time.
Wild about my daddy, I want him all the time.
But I don't want you, daddy, if I can't call you mine.
Got the farewell blues-y, and my trunk is packed.
Got the farewell blues-y, and my trunk is packed,
But I don't want no daddy because that I ain't comin' back.
- Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Now, you heard the rest
Ah, boys, I'm gonna show you the best
Ma Rainey's gonna show you her black bottom
Way down south in Alabamy
I got a friend, they call dancin' Sammy
Who's crazy about all the latest dances
Black bottom stomps and the Jew baby prances
- See See Rider Blues
see what you have done, Lord, Lord, Lord
Made me love you, now your gal has come
You made me love you, now your gal has come
I'm goin' away, baby, I won't be back till fall, Lord, Lord, Lord
Goin' away, baby, won't be back till fall
If I find me a good man, won't be back at all
