Bessie Smith - Rockin' Chair Blues lyrics

Did you ever wake up With sorrow all on your mind? Did you ever wake up With sorrow all on your mind? He plays the blues to his congregation Hear his trombone whine He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry He'll sit right down and moan He'll weep and moan Till I hear him say Lord, I wonder where my Loving man is gone Easy rider, you see, I'm going away I won't be back until you change your ways I won't be back until you change your ways I'm going to the river Carryin' a brand new rocking chair I'm going to the river Carryin' a brand new rocking chair I'm gonna ask Mister Tadpole To move all his stuff from here Blues jumped a rabbit Run him for a solid mile Blues jumped a rabbit Run him for a solid mile The rabbit turned over And cried like a natural cry
