Ma Rainey - Wringin' and Twistin' Blues

Kishore Kumar Hits — Ma Rainey - Wringin' and Twistin' Blues lyrics

Artist: Ma Rainey

album: Milestones of Legends - Female Blues, Vol. 2

I had my fortune told, and the gypsy took my hand
And she made me understand that I had lost my man
She said I had the wringin' and the twistin' blues
I twisted my nervous hands and then I shook my head
Went home and jumped in bed, and then I heard what she said
And now I've got the wringin' and the twistin' blues
He told me that he loved me, I found it wasn't true
'Cause he's done gone and left me, I've nothing else to do
But if I know that woman, that caused my heart to moan
I'd cook a special dinner, invite her to my home
I had some green cucumbers, some half-done tripe and greens
Some buttermilk and cod-fish, some sour kidney beans
If she eats what's on my table, she will be graveyard bound
I'll be right there to tell her, when they put her in the ground
"You're the cause of me having those wringin' and a-twistin" blues."
Get a paper in the morn, and you will read the news
Where a poor gal's dead and gone, with the wringin' and twistin' blues
Now I've got the wringin' and the twistin' blues
