Man Trouble Blues (Gennett 6245-B) by Jaybird Coleman

Jaybird Coleman - Man Trouble Blues (Gennett Version); Solo harmonica with vocals, (GEX-771- ) rec. August 5, 1927 in Birmingham, AL.

When a man gets in trouble, every woman throws him down

I'm so worried, don't know what to do

I waked up this mornin', mama feelin' sad and blue

'Cause my woman had done quit me, didn't have nowhere to go

Hey, hi hi hi hi

When I'm in my good whiskey, this' the way I sing my blues
