Barrel House Blues by Ma Rainey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got the barrel house blues, feelin' awfully dry
Got the barrel house blues, feelin' awfully dry
I can't drink moonshine 'cause I'm 'fraid I'll die

[Verse 2]
Papa likes his sherry, mama likes her port
Papa likes his sherry, mama likes her port
Papa likes to shimmy, mama likes to sport

[Verse 3]
Papa likes his bourbon, mama likes her gin
Papa likes his bourbon, mama likes her gin
Papa likes his outside women, mama like outside men
