"Death Sting Me Blues"
Sara Martin

I want all you women
to listen to my tale of woe
I want all you women
to listen to my tale of woe
I've got consumption of the heart
I feel myself sinking so

Oh my heart is aching
and the blues are all around my room
Oh my heart is aching
and the blues are all around my room
Blues is like the devil
they'll have me hell-bound soon

Blues, you make me roll and tumble
you make me weep and sigh
Lordy lordy lordy
blues you make me roll and tumble
you make me weep and sigh
Made me use cocaine and whiskey
but you wouldn't let me die

Blues: blues: blues
why did you bring trouble to me?
Blues: blues: blues
why did you bring trouble to me?
Oh death please sting me,
and take me out of my misery
