(Leaving This Morning)
Leaving This Morning
Performed by: Ma Rainey
Been reelin� and rockin�
Drunk as I can be
Man I love tryin� to make a fool of me
I�m leaving this morning
I�m leaving this morning
I�m leaving tryin� to find a man of my own
When I get through drinkin�
From five gallon drums
Find my man, he better hitch up and run
�Cause I�m leaving this morning
I�m leaving this morning
I�m going to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home
I�d give him all my money
Get him nice, I can
Got another woman
Wait �till I find my man
Lord, I leavin� this morning
I�m leavin� this morning
I�m leavin�
Tryin� to find a man of my own
(Instrumental � 12 bars)
I went up 18th Street
Found out where the other women stayed
For my man of this size and weight
�Cause I�m leaving this morning
Honey, I�m leaving this morning
I�m going to Kansas City to bring Jim Jackson home
I walked down the street
Didn�t have on no hat
Askin� everybody I see
Where my dad�s at
I leavin� this morning
Honey, I�m leavin� this morning
I�m leavin�
Tryin� to find a man of my own
