Play the blues for me
Play the blues for me
No other music
‘Ll ease my misery

Sing a soothin’ song
Said a soothin’ song
Cause the man I love’s done
Done me wrong

Can’t you understand
O, understand
A good woman’s cryin’
For a no-good man?

Black gal like me
Black gal like me
‘S got to hear a blues
For her misery
