Ma Rainey - Bessemer Bound blues lyrics

Woke up this morning : looking for my darn old shoes Because mama's going home : singing the Bessemer blues Apple sugar papa : how come you do me like you do I've done everything you asked me : trying to get along with you I went in the water : walked through ice and snow But from now on papa : I won't be your dog no more Electric all right and light shine nice and bright But I'd rather be in Memphis : reading by a candle light
