Ma Rainey Goodbye Daddy Blues
[Verse 1]
Sitting in my room all by myself
Sitting in my room all by myself
Thinkin' the man I love might be with someone else
[Verse 2]
Daddy when you left me all cold in mind
Daddy when you left me all cold in mind
If you knowed how much I love you, you'd stay home all the time
[Verse 3]
When your daddy kisses you and looks you in your eye
When your daddy kisses you and looks you in your eye
Then he left with your heart, and that man's kiss means goodbye
[Verse 4]
Lord, goodbye dad, mom will soon be gone
Lord, goodbye dad, mom will soon be gone
She's gotta find another daddy to show her right from wrong
[Verse 5]
Every woman's got a dad, some dads tell them lies
Every woman's got a dad, some dads tell them lies
You can give your man your money, but his love you cannot buy
[Verse 6]
Lord, goodbye dad, someday you'll bring good news
Lord, goodbye dad, someday you'll bring good news
But he kills me with his lovin', tryin' to bring goodbye daddy blues
