Papa Charlie Jackson - Papa Do Do Do Blues lyrics

I'd rather be dead and sleepin' down in my grave I'd rather be dead and sleepin' down in my grave Than to be an old woman's darling, or to be a young woman's slave It ain't no use, keep hangin' 'round, you know you don't mean me no good T'ain't no use, keep hangin' 'round, you know you don't mean me no good You say you're going to leave, sweet mama, Lord, I wish you would Don't think your leavin' is going to make me stall Don't think your leavin' is going to make me stall 'Cause I can get more women than a pa**enger zeppelin can haul They call me Papa, Papa Do Do Do They call me Papa, Papa Do Do Do Yes, the life I'm livin', I don't have no chance to get through I'm livin' my own life, you bet it's the life for me I'm livin' my own life, you bet it's just the life for me 'Cause my papa told me, the blues would give me heart disease
