Jelly Bean Blues by Ma Rainey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you ever wake up with your good man on your mind?
Did you ever wake up with your good man on your mind?
My daddy left me this mornin', that's why I moan and whine

[Verse 2]
He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry
He'll drive those blues away
You'll sit right down, you'll weep and moan
And then you'll finally say
Lord, I've been wonderin' where my jelly bean has gone

[Verse 3]
I can sit right here and look
A thousand miles away
I just can remember what my baby had to say

[Verse 4]
He said "See see rider
Today I'm goin' away
And I won't be back until you change your way"
[Verse 5]
So fare thee, honey
Today, that mean goodbye
If you did not want me, you had no right to lie
