Oh, Papa
PUBLIC DOMAIN, DICK WELLSTOOD
Just like a rainbow I'm fading away
My daddy leaves me most everyday
But he don't mean me no good
While because I only wish he could
I'm almost gone insane
I'm forever tryna call his name
Oh papa look what you do
Look what you do oh papa
You call me rue he calls me rue
All my money I give to you
If don't mean that makes me awfully blue
Oh when you miss you long to kiss me
Regret the day that you ever with me
Oh papa
Think when you always come home
I gave you money you don't want me no heart
But you will love me one day somehow
And papa papa you won't have no mama at home
Oh papa
Think when you always come home
You just don't want me now but just wait and see
You'll find some other man making love to me
Papa papa you ain't got no mama now
