Peetie Wheatstraw. Ain’t it a pity and a shame
Don’t hang my clothes on no barbed line
C and A blues
Sleepless nights blues
Throw me in the alley
Doing the best I can
Rising man blues
King of spades
Letter writing blues
King spider blues
Cocktail man blues
Last dime blues
Cut out blues
First and last blues
True blue women
Sweet home blues
Low down rascal
When I get my bonus
Coon can shorty
The first shall be the last
