Explaining The Blues by Ma Rainey
Performed by
Ma RaineyExplaining The Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whole world seems against me, if I could just explain
Whole world seems against me, if I could just explain
Man I love left me 'cause I called another man's name
[Verse 2]
Too sad to whistle, too brokenhearted to sing
Too sad to whistle, too brokenhearted to sing
Let me explain the trouble that a jealous man will bring
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Explain why you left me, and tell me why you went away
Explain why you left me, and tell me why you went away
And I'll explain why I need you and want you back today
[Verse 4]
I'm goin' on that island where women never hear bad news
I'm goin' on that island where women never hear bad news
Then I'd never be downhearted, tryin' to explain these blues
[Outro]
Explain these blues
