Ma Rainey’s Mystery Record

[Verse 1]
Lord, I'm down with the blues, blue as I can be
Lord, I'm down with the blues, blue as I can be
Nobody know my trouble but the good Lord and me

[Verse 2]
Ooh, there's somethin' going all wrong
Ooh, there's somethin' going all wrong
The way I'm thinkin', I know I can't last long

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I've had the blues a solid week, every night and day
Had the blues a solid week, every night and day
Man I love broke my heart, 'n' I'm 'bout to pass away

[Verse 4]
I'm down with the blues, just as low as I can be
I'm down with the blues, low as I can be
I think I hear the angels singin' "Nearer, My God, To Thee"
