Ma Rainey

Oh, Easy Rider, just see what you have done.

A7       D7                                 A

Oh Lord, Easy Rider, just see what you have done.

A                 B7   F7       E7            A   D7   A

Well, you made me love you, now your gal has come.

 

If I was a catfish, swimmin' in the deep blue sea, oh Lord.

If I was a catfish, swimmin' in the deep blue sea.

I would swim across the ocean, bring my baby back to me.

 

I'm goin' away, Rider, and I won't be back till fall, oh Lord.

I'm goin' away, Rider, and I won't be back till fall.

And if I find me a good man, I won't be back at all.
