Last Minute Blues

[Verse 1]
Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days
Minutes seem like hours, hours seem like days
It seem like my daddy won't stop his evil ways

[Verse 2]
Seem like every minute's going to be my last
Seem like every minute's going to be my last
If I can't tell my future I won't tell my past

[Verse 3]
The brook runs into the river, river runs into the sea
The brook run into the river, river run into the sea
If I don't run into my daddy, somebody'll have to bury me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
If anybody asks you who wrote this lonesome song
If anybody asks you who wrote this lonesome song
Tell 'em you don't know the writer, but Ma Rainey put it on
