by
recording of July 31 1934, New York City
from
Lucille Bogan (1923-1935) (Story of Blues 3535)
Blues has got me drinkin', trouble's got me thinkin', and it's goin' to carry me to my grave
I said, blues has got me drinkin', trouble's got me thinkin', and it's goin' to carry me to my grave
And I'm goin' to keep on drinkin', the rest of my worried days
Don't a woman look real funny, when she wakes up
cold in hand
and the broad ain't got a dollar to give the house-rent man
Don't a woman feel real funny, when the broad wakes up cold in hand,
and she ain't got a dollar oh to meet the house-rent man
Trouble's got me thinkin', and I just can't keep from drinkin',
and I'm tryin' to drive my worried blues away
Trouble's got me thinkin', and I just can't keep from drinkin',
tryin' to drive my worried blues away
How I been worried each and every lonesome day
Now my heart is achin', and whiskey's all it's takin', just to drive these blues away
Now my heart is achin', and whiskey's all it's takin', just to drive these blues away
And I stay drunk each and every worried day
(Spoken to Walter Roland, the piano player:)
"Beat 'em a long time, baby"
