Verse I: Oh! Daddy I’ve been weepin’,/Just like a willow tree./Without a wink of sleepin’/Where is your sympathy?/All is black ‘round the shack,/Since you said “good-bye” to me. Chorus: Oh! I’m just singin’ the blues,/’till my daddy comes home;/The meanest feelin’ pursues,/Since he left me alone./For ev’ry blue strain puts new pain right into my heart/And I just sigh at that cryin’ part./It sure gets your nerves/When you hear yourself moan,/If I got all I deserves,/I wouldn't be here all alone;/I wouldn't watch all night,/And sit by the window with a candlelight;/Singin' the blues,/'till my daddy comes home. Verse II: I'm gonna search and find me,/A weepin' willow tree./The weepin' will remind me,/Of my old used-to-be./I'll just lie 'neath the sky,/With that tree for company. | |
