Here's a swell blues written by Naomia (sic) Carew heard here on Capitol 2274 from circa 1929.
This song was recorded by Monette Moore with Ms. Carew at the piano on Paramount 1489 in 1924.
[Verse 1]
"Come here sweet babe, I want to ask one thing of thee
Come here sweet babe, I want to ask one thing of thee
What makes you treat everybody better than you do poor me?
[Verse 2]
I thought I had my man all to myself
I thought I had my man all to myself
I come to find out he has somebody else
[Verse 3]
I know folks wonder why I sing these tunes with glee
I know folks wonder why I sing these blues with glee
I've had the blues so long, them blues don't worry me
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna cut your throat, babe, drink your blood like wine
I'm gonna cut your throat, babe, drink your blood like wine
I'll let these women know that you're a man of mine
[Instrumental Break]
Play that thing, babe
[Verse 5]
If anybody asks you, babe, who's playing this song
If anybody asks you, babe, who's playing this song
You can tell them "A poor girl who's been treated wrong"
