Toad Frog Blues by Ma Rainey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord, hear me prayin', my man treats me like a hound
Lord, hear me prayin’, my man treats me like a hound
I got the toad low blues and I can't get no lower down

[Verse 2]
When you hear a frog croakin', you know they’re cryin' for more rain
When you hear a frog croakin', you know they're cryin' for more rain
But when you hear me cryin', I'm cryin' because I can’t ride a train

[Verse 3]
You’re gonna look for me some mornin', but baby, I will be long gone
You’re gonna look for me some mornin', but baby, I will be long gone
And your low down ways will bring those mean bluеs on

[Verse 4]
If I don't lose these bluеs, I'll be in some undertaker’s morgue
If I don't lose these blues, I'll be in some undertaker's morgue
I'm tired of eatin' one meal, jumpin' too just like a frog

[Verse 5]
I can't get no higher, sure can't get no lower down
I can't get no higher, sure can't get no lower down
I got the toad frog blues, and I'm sure Lordy Dixie bound
