I found this recording on Spotify. It's on the album "Rough Guide to Blues Women" (2016) but the recording is much older.


A MAN OF MY OWN
As recorded by Ruth Willis, 1933.

1. I went down 18th Street, didn't have-a no hat,
Asking all the women where was my man at.

CHORUS: I'm leavin' you, baby, (x3)
Tryin' to find a man of my own.

2. I'm gonna grab me a train, ride it 'till it stops.
Not gonna stay 'round here an' be your stumblin' block. CHORUS

3. Woke up this mornin' at the break of day,
Looked on my pillow where my man used to lay. So—CHORUS

4. My suitcase is packed, trunk already home,
So it won't be long 'fore your mama be gone. So—CHORUS

5. You caused my heart to weep; you caused it to moan.
So what's this mean ol' train I'm on? So—CHORUS
