Ada Jane’s Blues

[Verse]
In a colored cabaret
I heard a wicked, awful strain
That didn't fail to use
Every pleading, moanin' strain in Ada Jane's blues
Ada Jane is a blues singer
What I mean, she is a humdinger
And when she sang about her man throwing her down
Her blues became the music of the town, just listen

[Chorus]
"Lord, Lordy, Lord
Why, why, why, why
Do I suffer all of this woe and pain?
I, I, I, I
Try, try, try, try
Every day my good man to regain
He quit me cold
For a girl called Dee
Babe, I'll lose my soul
If you don't come to me
I'll treat you kind
And won't abuse"
These are thе pleading words
In Ada Jane's blues

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
"Hе quit me cold
For a girl called Dee
Babe, I'll lose my soul
If you don't come to me
I'll treat you kind
And won't abuse"
These are the pleading words
In Ada Jane's blues
