Sissy Blues - Ma Rainey

I dreamed last night I was free from harm

Going home tonight I won’t carry no more

«Hello, Central, it’s 'bout to run me wild

Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?»

I dreamed last night I was far from harm

Woke up and found my man in a sissy’s arms

«Hello, Central, it’s 'bout to run me wild

Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?»

Some are young, some are old

My man says sissy’s got good jelly roll

«Hello, Central, it’s 'bout to run me wild

Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?»

My man got a sissy, his name is Miss Kate

He shook that thing like jelly on a plate

«Hello, Central, it’s 'bout to run me wild

Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?»

Now all the people ask me why I’m all alone

A sissy shook that thing and took my man from me

«Hello, Central, it’s 'bout to run me wild

Can I get that number, or will I have to wait a while?»
