Hot Papa Blues Lyrics

Papa Charlie Jackson Hot Papa Blues

I ain't good‑looking : and I don't dress cute
But I just want to *break* : some good man's *opportune*

I ain't no race horse : I ain't built for speed
But I got everything : that a race horse papa needs

You may fall from the mountain : down in the deep blue
sea
You ain't done no falling : till you fall in love with me

I ain't no coalman : ain't no coalman's son
But I can keep you warm : until your coalman comes

Won't you tell me pretty mama : I won't have to wait
Will I be your regular : or did I come too late

I may look green : but I ain't no clown
I'm just a red‑hot papa : just blowed in your town
