Dream Blues Composer(s): Gertrude "Ma" Rainey Performer(s): Ma Rainey
Had a dream last night And the night before Had a dream last night And the night before Gonna get drunk tonight I won't dream no more
In my bed Didn't treat me right Lord, I dreamed my man Didn't treat me right Like my poor dead Father And walked the streets all night
I saw my man Fall on his knees and cry Thought I saw my man Fall on his knees and cry Take me back, Mama Or else I'll die
Lord, I wonder What am I to do Lord, Lord, I wonder What am I to do When everybody's Gonna mistreat you
My heart is achin' Mama feel like cryin' Lord, my heart is achin' Mama feels like cryin' Yes, I had a bad dream last night Mama don't mind dyin'
