How Long Blues
I've been down, down in the Delta
Down in the Delta and I've done been tried
I can stand more trouble
Than any other woman my size
I tried to teach my baby
I talk to him the whole night long
I was just only trying
To teach that man right from wrong
He did not love
He did not love me
And I knew that from the start
But I was just trying to bring
That man into my heart
