That soothin' song

J. Carpenter

Play the blues for me.

No other music

'Ll ease my misery.

Sing a soothin' song.

Said a soothing song,

Cause the man I love's done

Done me wrong.

Can't you understand,

O, understand

A good woman's cryin'

For a no-good man?

Black gal like me,

Black gal like me

'S got to hear a blues

For her misery.
