Lead Belly - Four Day Worry Blues lyrics

Daddy you on my mind I ain't got but little business(1), Daddy when I am cryin' Yes I would not been here had it not been for you Said I would not been here had it not been for you Treat me low down and dirty, Daddy that's the way you do Pretty papa Pretty papa Yes I ain't gonna be your low down dog no more Been your dog, every since I entered your door Spoken: That was a song, Ena was in the kitchen She was cookin' my breakfast and I'd been out all night long And I was so ashamed of myself to hear her standin' in there cryin' And when she began to cry I'd get up and go and pat her on the shoulder And here're the words she said: "Now I'm goin' away to wear you off my mind I've got the blues Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' I've got another pretty papa to ease me and to keep me from cryin'" Spoken: I couldn't stand to hear that, say that word 'bout you had another pretty papa I had to get up and go in the kitchen and see what is the matter with her She commenced to cryin' again: "Daddy what a low down feelin' Daddy what a low down feelin'" Been my daily occupation, takin' the monkey mens' women
