Bessie Smith - Worn Out Papa Blues lyrics

Papa, papa, you in a good man's way Papa, papa, you in a good man's way I can find one better than you any time of day You ain't no good so you better haul your freight You ain't no good, you better haul your freight Mama wants the live wire, papa, you can take the gate I'm a red hot woman just full of flamin' youth I'm a red hot woman just full of flamin' youth You can't cool me, daddy, you no good, that's the truth All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me You give me the willingness, now I'm glad I'm free I'm one woman, don't want no, no good man Yes, I'm one woman, don't want no, no good man You just like a worn out badly be neglected thing Yo, you've done failed, all your pep done gone Yo, you've done failed, all your pep done gone Pick up that suitcase, man, and travel on
