Wringing And Twisting Blues by Ma Rainey
Performed by
Ma RaineyWringing And Twisting Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had my fortune told
And the gypsy took my hand
And she made me understand
That I had lost my man
She said I had the wringin' and the twistin' blues
[Verse 2]
I twisted my nervous hand
And then I shook my head
Went home and jumped in bed
And when I heard what she said
And now I've got those wringin' and the twistin' blues
[Bridge]
He told me that he loved me
I found it wasn't true
'Cause he's done gone and left me
There's nothing else to do
But if I know that woman
That caused my hеart to moan
I'd cook a special dinner
Invite hеr to my home
I had some green cucumbers
Some [ham, some/half-done] tripe and greens
Some buttermilk and codfish
Some sour [chittlin/kidney] beans
When she eats what's on my table
She will be graveyard bound
I'll be right there to tell her
When they set her in the ground
You're the cause of me havin' those wringin' and the twistin' blues
[Verse 3]
Get a paper in the morn
And you will read the news
Where a poor gal's dead and gone
With those wringin' and twistin' blues
Now I've got the wringin' and the twistin' blues
