Moggidge unpaid, de insurance very lon’ past due
De home we wukked so hard fo’ goes back to de Fay[2] an’ Jew.
Homesick Blues, Lawd,
It’s a terrible thing lo have.
To keep from cryin’ I open ma mouth an’ laughs.
But looking at her falsely smiling face
I knew herself was not in that strange place.
I’ve known rivers:
Ancient dusky rivers
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I return the bitterness,
Which you gave to me;
When I wanted loveliness
Tantalant and free.
I return the bitterness,
It is washed by tears;
Now it is a loveliness
Garnished through the years.
I return it lovelines,
Having made it so;
For I wore the bitterness
From it long ago.
