Oh Daddy Blues
|
|
Just like a flower I am fading away
|
The doctor call to see me most every day
|
But he don't do me no good, why?
|
Because I'm lonesome for you
|
And if you care for me
|
Then you will listen to my plea
|
Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'
|
Oh, daddy, you with your foolin', think what you're losin'
|
All the little love I gave you
|
Is goin' to make you feel so awfully blue
|
When you miss me and long to kiss me
|
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
|
Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone
|
You'll get so lonely just wait and see
|
But there will be someone else makin' love to me
|
Then daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all
|
|
Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'
|
Oh, daddy, you and your foolin', think what you losin'
|
All the little love I gave you
|
Is goin' to make me feel so awfully blue
|
When you miss me, and long to kiss me
|
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
|
Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone
|
You know that you are getting old
|
You'll miss the way I baked your jelly roll
|
And daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all
|
