Any Woman's Blues
every woman is a victim of the feel blues, too.
Soft lamp shinin
and me alone in the night.
Soft lamp is shinin
and me alone in the night.
Can't take no one beside me
need mo'n jest some man to set me right.
I left many peoples and places
tryin not to be alone.
Left many a person and places
I lived my life alone.
I need to get myself together.
Yes, I need to make myself to home.
What's gone can be a window
a circle in the eye of the sun.
What's gone can be a window
a circle, well, in the eye of the sun.
Take the circle from the world, girl,
you find the light have gone.
These is old blues
and I sing em like any woman do.
These the old blues
and I sing em, sing em, sing em. Just like any woman do
My life ain't done yet.
Naw. My song ain't through.
Written by Sherley Anne Williams (1944-1999)
