Oh Papa Blues

Lyrics

Just like a rainbow, I have faded away
 My daddy leaves me 'most every a-day
 But he don't mean me no good; why?
 Because I only wish he would
 I'm almost goin' insane
 I'm forever tryin' to call his name
 Oh, papa, look what you doin', look what you doin'
 Oh, papa, you caused me ruinin', you caused me ruinin'
 All my money, I give you
 You treat me mean and made me awfully blue
 Then you'll miss me, you're going to kiss me
 You'll 'gret the day that you ever quit me
 Oh, papa, hate when you're 'way from home
 I'll give you money, don't wrong me no how
 But you will love mw some day, not now
 Papa, papa now you won't have no mama at all
 Oh, papa, look what you doin', look what you doin'
 Oh, papa, you caused me ruinin', you caused me ruinin'
 All my money, I give you
 You treat me mean and beat me pitchful blue
 You're goin' to miss me, you'll long to kiss me
 You'll 'gret the day that you ever quit me
 Oh, papa, hate it when you're 'way from home
 You just don't want me now
 Wait and see
 You'll find some ordinary love to me now
 Papa, papa, you ain't got no mama now
