Cripple Clarence Lofton - Monkey Man Blues lyrics

Some of these old days mama, some of these old sad lonely nights Some of these old days mama, some of these old sad lonely nights You will look for your good daddy, and he'll be getting his half-day right Because I leave town mama, don't count the days I'm gone Because I leave town mama, don't count the days I'm gone Just count them days baby, that you tried to do your daddy wrong I been doing the same thing baby, ever since nineteen and twelve I been doing the same thing baby, ever since nineteen and twelve I been breaking down with you dizzy mares, seem like you want me to dig a country well I would be your monkey-man mama, just can't climb no coconut tree I would be your monkey-man mama, just can't climb no coconut tree I breaks down with you dizzy mares, but I don't get on my happy black knees Some day you going to need me mama, swear when I won't need you Some day you going to need me mama, swear when I won't need you Because when I try to love you right baby, seems like my loving won't do
