Oh, Daddy
Just like a flower, I am fading away
The doctor calls to see me 'most every day
But he don't do me no good;
Why?
Because I'm longing for you
And if you care for me
You will listen to my plea:
Oh, Daddy, look what you're doing, look what you're doing!
Oh, Daddy!
You with you fooling;
Think what you're losing
Oh, all the little lovings that I gave for you
It's going to make you feel awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll regret the day that you ever quit me
Oh, Daddy
Think when you're all alone
Why, you'll want me, just wait and see
But there'll be someone else making love to me!
Then, Daddy! Daddy! You won't have no lover at all
Oh, Daddy, look what you're doing, look what you're doing!
Oh, Daddy
You with your fooling
Think what you're losing
All the little lovings that I gave for you;
It's going to make you feel awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll regret the day that you ever quit me
Oh, Daddy
Think when you're all alone
Why, you'll want me, just wait and see
But there'll be someone else making love to me!
Then, Daddy! Daddy! You won't have no lover at all

Just like a flower, why, I'm fading away
The doctor calls to see me 'most every day
But he don't do me no good
Why?
Because I'm lonesome for you
And if you care for me
Then you will listen to my plea
Oh, Daddy! Look what you're doing!
Look what you're doing!
Oh, Daddy! You with your foolin'
Think what you're losin'
All the little love I gave you
Is going to make you feel so awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
Oh, Daddy, think when you're all alone;
You'll just want me, just wait and see
But there will be someone else making love to me!
Then Daddy, Daddy, you won't have no mama at all
Oh, Daddy! Look what you're doing!
Look what you're doing!
Oh, Daddy! You and your foolin'
Think what you're losin'
All the little love I gave you
Is going to make me feel so awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
Oh, Daddy, think when you're all alone
You know that you are getting old
You'll miss the way I baked your jellyroll!
Then, Daddy! Daddy! You won't have no mama at all
