Great song to play

I really enjoy playing this piece. Easy to "vamp" it up with some wide voicings and rolls.

The vocal part and the lyrics are different from the version Bessie Smith recorded. When I am looking for a particular artists version of a song, I would expect a transcription that is at least close to her interpretation and not what appears to be the original published score or something that she may have used as a base for her version. Other than that, good arrangement.
