Nina Simone
Introduction To Blues For Mama (Live)
[Intro]
And now, now we're going to do a gut-bucket blues
It is so because of its background
There's an old porch, and there's an old man
And there's a beat-up guitar, and a broken bottle
There are flies all around, there is molasses all around
And he's composing his tune on a hot afternoon
In this case, this song is called "Blues For Mama"
The lyrics written by Abbey Lincoln and I wrote the music
It will appeal to a certain type of woman who've had this kind of experience
