I'd Rather Be Dead and Buried
by Bessie Smith


Bessie Smith says: I wrote this back in 1926, one of my best. "I'm like a fox without a hole, a ship without a sail"....I got that right. Dig Louie Armstrong's wild cornet playing at the beginning and throughout this song. Maybe it's time to be swearin' off men for good!
