Big Feeling Blues - Ma Rainey

«All these many years I’ve been pleadin' for a man

How come I can’t get me a real Monkey man?

I’m not no triflin' woman

I’ve been lookin' for a man I can call my own

Been married many times but they left my home

Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I ever had

I’ve got the big feelin' blues I mean I’ve got them bad

If you’re lookin' for a brown, come get this chocolate cream

I’m a big kid-man — just out of my teens

Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I ever had

I’ve got them big feelin' blues, I mean I’ve got them bad

Unlucky with my yellow, unlucky with my brown

The black bitches keep on throwin' me down'

Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I’ve ever had

I’ve got the big feelin' blues, I mean I’ve got them bad

If you need a good man why don’t you try me?

I sure can put you out of your misery

«Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I’ve ever had

I’ve got the big feelin' blues, I mean I’ve got them bad

There’s a whole lot left, what’s left is good

Give me a chance, honey, I’ll make you change your neighbourhood

Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I’ve ever had

I’ve got the big feelin' blues, I mean I’ve got them bad"
