Experience Blues by Alberta Hunter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Folks, I've got something I wanna tell you
And every word is true
Yes, I've got something I want to tell you
And every word is true
This up-close of my experience
Might be a help to you

[Verse 2]
I've been [?] and I've been driven
Just pushed from door to door
I've been [?] and I've been driven
Just pushed from door to door
But Dame Fortune has smiled on me
And I won't be pushed no more

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I've been slowed way down but
I've slow dragged up again
Yes I've been slowed way down but
I've slow dragged up again
I was slowed down by a person
That I took for my best friend
[Verse 4]
When I was young, I was reckless
Wouldn't take no one's advice
When I was young, I was reckless
Wouldn't take no one's advice
But thanks to fate I've learned my lesson
And the same bee will never sting me twice
