Ma Rainey - Cell Bound Blues lyrics

Artist: Ma Rainey

album: Moonshine Blues


Met my man this morning
Standing in the door
When I got back he said
I don't want you no more
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
Can't always tell
You treat 'em right
Your man go out from you
Stay out all day and night
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
My Daddy wrote me a letter
Said Mama please come home
When I got home last night
Found my man had gone
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
Ain't got nobody
To tell my troubles to
Lay down in my bed
And cried the whole night 'bout you
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
Oh goodbye Daddy
Daddy please tell me goodbye
If you don't want me, Daddy
Mama'll sure lay down and die
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
Goodbye Goodbye
Daddy, Goodbye
Hey, hey, jailer, tell me what have I done? (2)
You've got me all bound in chains, did I kill that woman's son?
All bound in prison, I'm bound in jail, (2)
Cold iron bars all around me, no one to go my bail
I've got a mother and father, livin' in a cottage by the sea, (2)
Got a sister and brother, wonder do they think of poor me?
I walked in my room, the other night
My man walked in and begin to fight
I took my gun in my right hand, said
"Hold him, folks, I don't wanta kill my man."
When I did that he hit me 'cross my head
First shot I fired, my man fell dead
The paper came out and told the news
That's why I said I got the cell bound blues
Hey, hey, jailer, I got the cell bound blues
