Cold In Hand Blues

Y qué es lo que vas a decir
voy a decir solamente algo

Y qué es lo que vas a hacer
voy a ocultarme en el lenguaje

Y por qué
tengo miedo

Alejandra Pizarnik



COLD IN HAND BLUES

Jack Gee / Fred Longshaw 1925

por Bessie Smith con Louis Armstrong & Fred Longshaw (piano)
24 de Enero de 1925 - Nueva York

I've got a hardworkin' 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 that man,
Because he's gone cold in hand.

Now I've tried hard to treat him kind,
I've tried hard to treat him kind,
But it seems to me his love has 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 treat 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.
