Jelly Bean Blues - Ma Rainey

If you ever wake up with your good man on your mind

If you ever wake up with your good man on your mind

My daddy left me this morning, that’s why I moan and cry

He’ll make you laugh, he’ll make you cry, he’ll drive those blues away

You’ll sit right down and weep and moan and then you’ll find he’s went

Lord, I been wonderin' where my jelly bean has gone

I can see you rider, yea, helle loo, a thousand miles away

I just can’t remember what my baby had to say

He said: See see rider

Today I’m goin' away, and I won’t be back until you change your way

So back and easy rider, today that mean' goodbye

You did not worry me, you had no right to lie
