Lyric A Worried Woman s Blues (1927)

I woke up this morning, rolled from side to side.
I woke up this morning, rolled from side to side.
I grabbed my pillow, the Lord how I screamed and cried.

Oh, heaven s made you brown-skin, the angels gave you cold black hair.
Oh, heaven s made you brown-skin, the angels gave you cold black hair.
Oh, a brown-skinned man can get, a good woman most anywhere.

Ohhhhhhhhh, Lord, listen to my plea.
Ohhhhh, Lord, listen to my plea.
Please hear my cry, and give me back my “usta” be.

I ve got my ticket, don t make me miss my train.
I ve got my ticket, don t make me miss my train.       
I m gonna ride until, I can t hear them call your name.
