Praying Blues by Trixie Smith Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Folks, you don't know half the trouble I see, mmm
Folks, you don't know half the trouble I see, ooey
Nobody knows but the good Lord and me

[Verse 2]
Lord, Lord, kindly hear my plea
Lordy, Lord, won't you hear my plea?
Please send me a man that wants nobody else but me

[Verse 3]
Lord, I'm down on my knees
Now won't you hear me, please?
I'm feelin' sad today
Please drive these blues away
My man has quit me cold
And Lord, I'm getting old
My poor heart isn't strong
I can't stand worry long
Please send some man to me
To ease my misery
[Instrumental Break]
Let's kneel in prayer!

[Verse 4]
Lord, Lord, I ain't got a friend
Lordy, Lord, I ain't got a friеnd
One man is in jail, the other onе is in the pen
