[00:00.00]He's Gone Blues - Bessie Smith
[00:14.21]I feel blue I want someone to cheer me
[00:21.28]Oh so blue because my man's not near me
[00:28.35]I'm gettin' tired of bein' alone
[00:35.59]I want my good man to come on home
[00:41.76]He's gone and left me
[00:49.62]He's gone away to stay
[00:55.64]I never had a man in my whole life
[01:03.28]To treat me this-a-way
[01:09.17]I work hard all the dyin' day
[01:16.88]I even let him draw my pay
[01:23.13]He packed his grip and left on Christmas day
[01:29.88]Oh well I guess he's gone
[01:36.60]Any fair minded woman got to go insane
[01:43.39]In the past days she headed for the train
[01:51.08]Since my man is gone he's gone away to roam
[01:57.91]All I can say he's gone gone gone
[02:04.96]He's gone and left me
[02:12.73]He's gone away today
[02:18.50]I never had a man in my whole life
[02:26.58]To treat me this-a-way
[02:32.55]I work hard all the dyin' day
[02:40.17]I even let him draw my pay
[02:46.54]He packed his grip and left on Christmas day
[02:53.46]Oh well I guess he's gone
[02:59.65]Oh well I guess he's gone
