Man Done left Me Blues

By Marcus B. Christian

Rainey here, Lawd, stormy on the sea

Rainey here, Lawd, stormy on the deep blue sea

Because the man I love

Sho Gawd don't care for me.

Gonnah buy me a pistol as big as a German Krupp

Gonna buy me a pistol as big as a German Krupp

If he don't come back, Good Lawd I'm gonnah burn him up.

Gonna catch me a train an ride both night and day

Gonna catch me a train an ride both night and day

Gonnah ride until I ride my blues away.

Gonna find that gal who stole my man from me

Gonnah find that gal who stole my man from me

Gonnah sink her in hell as deep as the deep blue sea.

Lawdy, lawdy, send your cold rain down

Lawdy, lawdy, send your cold rain down

Done lost my man so I'm gonnah leave this Shanghai town.
