Southbound Blues Songtext
von Ma Rainey

Yes, I′m mad, my heart's sad
The man I loved treated me so bad
He brought me out of my home town
Took me to New York and threw me down


Without a cent to pay my rent
I′m left alone, without a home
I told him I would leave him and my time ain't long
My folks done sent the money, and I'm Dixie bound

You done me wrong, you throwed me down
You caused me to weep and to moan
I told him I′d see him, honey, some of these days
And I′m going to tell him 'bout his low down dirty ways

Done bought my ticket, Lord, and my trunk is packed
Goin′ back to Georgia, folks, I sure ain't comin′ back
My train's in the station, I done sent my folks the news
You can tell the world I′ve got those Southbound blues
