Those All Night Long Blues Take 1 by Ma Rainey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I haven't slept for nearly a week
'Cause my man and I don't speak
There's no reason why I should be treated this way
'Cause the way I worry, I soon will be old and gray

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna do nothin' that's wrong
I can't stand this treatment long
Just laid and suffer, cry and sigh all night long
'Cause the way I worry, Lordy, it sure is wrong

[Chorus]
All night long, all night long
There's been one man on my mind
Can't sleep a wink at night for cryin'
All night long, Lord, my worries just renews
And I suffer with those all night blues

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
All night long, all night long
There's been one man on my mind
Can't sleep at night for toil and cryin'
All night long, Lord, my worries just renews
And I've suffered from them all night blues
