Black Eye Blues - Ma Rainey

Written by：Ma Rainey

Down in Hogan's alley lives miss

Nancy Ann

Always fuss and problem

With her man

Than I heard miss Nacy say

Why do you treat your girl that way

I went down the alley

Other night

Nancy and her man had just

Had a fight

He hit miss Nancy 'cross her head

When she rose to her feet

She said

You low down alligator

Just watch me soon or later

Gonna catch you with your britches down

You abuse me and you beat me

You dog around and beat me

'Til I'm gonna hang hang around

Take all my money black a both of my eyes

Give it to

Another woman come home and tell me lies

You low down alligator

Just watch me soon or later

Gonna catch you with your britches down

I mean

Wanna catch you with your britches down

You low down alligator

Just watch me soon or later

Gonna catch you with your britches down

You abuse me and mistreat me

You dog around and beat me

'Til I'm gonna hang around

Take all my money black a both of my eyes

Give it to a

Another woman come home and tell me lies

You low down alligator

Just watch me soon or later

Gonna catch you with your britches down

I mean bey

Catch you with your britches down
