Traditional
I’ll Get a Break Someday
[Spoken]
Alright, I wanna tell you, this is the oldest blues I know. When I was a kid, I got it taught to me. Was an old man and he was a kid when he learned it from an old man

Now you ran 'round, mama, Lord, in your V8 Ford
I was lookin' for you, baby, I had no place to go
But I'll get a break, yeah, somewhere, mama 'fore long

Mississippi river, Lord, so deep and wide
Woman that I'm lovin', she's on the other side
But I'll get a break, yeah, somewhere, baby 'fore long

When I was sick, people, Lord, down in my bed
TV was on, and I'd hear the people say
But I'll get a break, yes, somewhere, one of these days

The oldest blues

Ain't no use in cryin', ain't no use in wearin' black
You know about it, Charlie, cryin' won't bring her back
But I'll get a break, yeah, somewhere, one of these days
