"Past-Midnight Blues "

Let me tell you how you givin' me a fright
When all these many years said you knew my appetite
But that sure ain't right musta got a lil' opposite
But that sure ain't right musta got a lil' opposite
I don't want no pennies from no man like you
Got me a rock hard face and i'm feelin' awfully full
Mind's a-thumpin', baby, not gonna have your hand no mo'
Been out there a great long time inquirin'
Sittin' to tea and thinkin'
'I don't want no man to put no sugar in my tea',whose not gonna stir it
Stirrin' it with your big hand
When you got me thinkin' about your big hand
But on the twelve said goodbye to my jelly bean
Got a face full and set him free
He gone sweetenin' in the big city
Where 'em likes pennies in their tea, tea, tea
And he's out there stirrin' now
And he's out there stirrin' now
Gonna catch me the first train South bound
Feelin' terribly lonely without me,
But not never gonna see
He and all that tea, no
He and all that tea, tea, tea


Just in case you're not at all familiar with Ma Rainey, here's a couple of her lyrics (1920's and 30's) :

"Walking Blues"

'Woke up this morning, up this morning
With my head bowed down, hey, hey, hey
Woke up this morning with my head bowed down
I had that mean old feeling, I was in the wrong man's town
Mailman's been here, mailman's been here
But didn't leave no news, hey, hey, hey
Mailman's been here but didn't leave no news
That's the reason why mama's got the walking blues
Walked and walked till I, walked and walked
I almost lost my mind, hey, hey, hey
Walked and walked till I almost lost my mind
I was afraid to stop walking 'cause I might lose some time
Got a short time to make it, short time to make it
And a long ways to go, Lord, Lord, Lord
Short time to make it and a long way to go
Trying to find the town they call San Antonio
Thought I'd rest me, thought I'd rest me
I couldn't hear no news, Lord, Lord, Lord
Thought I'd rest me, I couldn't hear no news
I'll soon be there 'cause I got the walking blues'

"Jelly Bean Blues"

'If you ever wake up with your good man on your mind
If you ever wake up with your good man on your mind
My daddy left me this morning, that's why I moan and cry
He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry, he'll drive those blues away
You'll sit right down and weep and moan and then you'll find he's went
Lord, I been wonderin' where my jelly bean
has gone
I can see you rider, yea, helle loo, a thousand miles away
I just can't remember what my baby had to say
He said:
see see rider
, today I'm goin' away, and I won't be back until you change your way
So back and easy rider, today that mean' goodbye
You did not worry me, you had no right to lie'

"One good thing about music, when it hits- you feel no pain”

"I love it when you tickle my spine"

"I only take you to the nicest places"

"I would like to meet my role models Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie"...haha rather Labov, William or Mayer, John or Jackson... hahah not Michael, well maybe Janet hahah no but Jack and the host of people in my life who are very important to me and who I want to meet over and over again for the rest of time.
