Minutes seem like hours : hours seem like days

It seem like my daddy : won't stop his evil ways



Seem like every minute : is going to be my last

If I can't tell my future : I will tell my past



The brook runs into the river : river runs into the sea

If I don't run into daddy : somebody'll have to bury me



If anybody asks you : who wrote this lonesome song

Tell them you don't know the writer : but Ma Rainey put

it on
