Lyrics Big Feeling Blues - Ma Rainey

Ma:
"All these many years I′ve been pleadin' for a man
How come I can′t get me a real
Monkey man
I'm not no triflin'
Woman
I′ve been lookin′ for a man I can call my own
Been married many times but they left my home
Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I ever had
I′ve got the big feelin' blues I mean I′ve got them bad"
Charlie
"If you're lookin′ for a brown, come get this chocolate cream
I'm a big kid-man - just out of my teens"
Ma:
"Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I ever had
I′ve got them big feelin′ blues, I mean I've got them bad"
"Unlucky with my
Yellow
, Unlucky with my brown,
The black bitches keep on throwin′ me down'
"Ah, big feelin′ blues, worst I've ever had
I′ve got the big feelin' blues, I mean I've got them bad"
Charlie:
"If you need a good man why don′t you try me?
I sure can put you out of your misery"
Ma:
"Ah, big feelin′ blues, worst I've ever had
I′ve got the big feelin' blues, I mean I′ve got them bad
There's a whole lot left, what′s left is good
Give me a chance, honey, I'll make you change your neighbourhood
Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I′ve ever had,
I′ve got the big feelin' blues, I mean I′ve got them bad"
