Ma:

"All these many years I've been pleadin' for a man

How come I can't get me a real

monkey man

I'm not no triflin'

woman

I've been lookin' for a man I can call my own

Been married many times but they left my home

Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I ever had

I've got the big feelin' blues I mean I've got them bad"

Charlie

"If you're lookin' for a brown, come get this chocolate cream

I'm a big kid-man - just out of my teens"

Ma:

"Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I ever had

I've got them big feelin' blues, I mean I've got them bad"

"Unlucky with my

yellow

, unlucky with my brown,

the black bitches keep on throwin' me down'

"Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I've ever had

I've got the big feelin' blues, I mean I've got them bad"

Charlie:

"If you need a good man why don't you try me?

I sure can put you out of your misery"

Ma:

"Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I've ever had

I've got the big feelin' blues, I mean I've got them bad

There's a whole lot left, what's left is good

Give me a chance, honey, I'll make you change your neighbourhood

Ah, big feelin' blues, worst I've ever had,

I've got the big feelin' blues, I mean I've got them bad"
