Ethel Waters Cordy Williams Jazz Masters Down Home Blues (1921) 78 rpm blues at Black Swan
I never felt So lonesome before; My friend has quit me; He s gone for sure; He broke my heart, For I loved him true; So now I m worried, Lonesome and blue. I ve got the blues on my mind, And I just feel like crying all the time. Woke up this morning, the day was dawning, And I was feeling all sad and blue, I had nobody to tell my troubles to; I felt so worried, I didn t know what to do. But there s no use in grievin, because I m leavin, I m brokenhearted and Dixiebound; I been mistreated, ain t got no time to lose. My train is leaving, And I got the downhome blues. Woke up this morning, the day was dawning, And I was feeling all sad and blue, Lord, I had nobody to tell my troubles to; I felt so worried, I didn t know what to do. But there s no use in grievin, because I m leavin, I m brokenhearted and Dixiebound; Lord, I been mistreated, ain t got no time to lose. My train is leaving, And I got the downhome blues
