Here are the lyrics for Bessie Smith’s Cold in Hand Blues.
As far as I can tell, it is only available on this CD. It was originally the B-Side on the Smith/Armstrong St. Louis Blues single.
My Fourth Wave Feminism post which discusses this blues, among others, is here.
Cold In Hand Blues:
I’ve got a hard workin’ man
The way he treats me I can’t understand
He works hard every day
And on Sat’day throws away his pay
Now I don’t want want that man
because he’s done gone cold in hand
Now I’ve tried hard to treat him kind
Now I’ve tried hard to treat him kind
But it seems to me his love is gone blind
The man I’ve got must have lost his mind
The man I’ve got must have lost his mind
The way he treats me I can’t understand
I’m gonna find myself another man
I’m gonna find myself another man
Because the one I’ve got has done gone cold in hand
