Ma Rainey - Rough and Tumble Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Rough and Tumble Blues - Ma Rainey



I'm going to the Western Union, type the news all down the line, (2)
'Cause Mama's on the warpath this mornin', and I don't mind dyin'
My man's so good lookin' and his clothes fit him so cute, (2)
I cut up his box-back and bought him a struttin' suit
Then every little devil got on my man's road, (2)
Mama Tree Top Tall and Miss Shorty Toad
Tree Top Tall give a stomp as I stepped in the door, (2)
Miss Shorty Toad and my man was shimmying down to the floor
I got rough and killed three women 'fore police got the news, (2)
'Cause Mama's on the warpath with the rough and tumblin' blues
