Hi, folks. I'd appreciate some ears on the classic blues song below. I've bolded/italicized the bits that I'm least sure of.
Thanks,

Feelin? Blues
by W. H. Garrell and W. C. Handy
as recorded by Daisy Martin
c. late July 1923
Does anybody, does anybody feel like me?
Does anybody, does anybody feel like me?
Now if they do, I know the feeling is sad as can be.
?Cause I?ve been moanin?, and I?ve been groanin? all night long.
And I?ve been sighin?, and I?ve been cryin? all night long.
The kind of feelin?s reelin? me that someone somewhere is doing wrong.
?Cause I?ve been here, I?ve been there.
In fact, I?ve really been most everywhere
Trying to find the man of mine, and you can blame me ?cause it ain?t no crime.
For to look all around for your sweet lovin? brown.
Now I?m going home and take a snooze
To try to wear away a thing they call the feelin? blues.
I?m tired of foolin? around with one who don?t love me.
I?m tired of foolin? around with one who don?t love me.
If I will find a way to leave him, if he cannot agree.
?Cause I?ve been here, I?ve been there.
In fact, I?ve really been most everywhere
Trying to find a man of mine, and you can blame me ?cause it ain?t no crime.
For to look all around for your sweet lovin? brown.
Now I?m going home and take a snooze
To try to wear away a thing they call the feelin? blues.
Thanks,
David
