Preachin' the Blues
by Bessie Smith


Bessie Smith says: I will learn you something if you listen to this song.
Going on down the line a little further now, there's many a poor woman down.
Read on down to chapter nine,
woman must learn how to take their time
Read on down to chapter ten,
taking other women's men, you are doing a sin.
