Ada Janes Blues by Trixie Smith Lyrics
[Verse]
In a colored cabaret
I heard a wicked, awful strain
That didn't fail to use
Every pleading, moanin' strain in Ada Jane's blues
Ada Jane is a blues singer
What I mean, she is a humdinger
And when she sang about her man throwing her down
Her blues became the music of the town, just listen
[Chorus]
"Lord, Lordy, Lord
Why, why, why, why
Do I suffer all of this woe and pain?
I, I, I, I
Try, try, try, try
Every day my good man to regain
He quit me cold
For a girl called Dee
Babe, I'll lose my soul
If you don't come to me
I'll treat you kind
And won't abuse"
These are thе pleading words
In Ada Jane's blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
"Hе quit me cold
For a girl called Dee
Babe, I'll lose my soul
If you don't come to me
I'll treat you kind
And won't abuse"
These are the pleading words
In Ada Jane's blues
In a colored cabaret
I heard a wicked, awful strain
That didn't fail to use
Every pleading, moanin' strain in Ada Jane's blues
Ada Jane is a blues singer
What I mean, she is a humdinger
And when she sang about her man throwing her down
Her blues became the music of the town, just listen
[Chorus]
"Lord, Lordy, Lord
Why, why, why, why
Do I suffer all of this woe and pain?
I, I, I, I
Try, try, try, try
Every day my good man to regain
He quit me cold
For a girl called Dee
Babe, I'll lose my soul
If you don't come to me
I'll treat you kind
And won't abuse"
These are thе pleading words
In Ada Jane's blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
"Hе quit me cold
For a girl called Dee
Babe, I'll lose my soul
If you don't come to me
I'll treat you kind
And won't abuse"
These are the pleading words
In Ada Jane's blues
