Farewell Daddy Blues - Ma Rainey

I'm wild about my daddy I want him all the time

Wild about my daddy I want him all the time

But I don't want you daddy if I can't call you mine

Got the farewell blues-y and my trunk is packed

Got the farewell blues-y and my trunk is packed

But I don't want no daddy because that I ain't comin' back

Oh fare you well daddy hon it's your turn now

Fare you well daddy hon it's your turn now

After all I've done you mistreated me anyhow

Going through the wood field feeling sad and blue

Going through the wood field feeling sad and blue

Lord up jumped a rabbit said mama I've got 'em too

Pig starts to singin' oh how his voice could ring

Pig starts to singin' oh how his voice could ring

He says I'm no yellow jacket but lord how I can sting

Since my man left me the others can't be found

Since my man left me others can't be found

But before he left me the other men was hangin' around

So fare you well daddy someday you'll hear bad news

So farewell daddy someday you'll hear bad news

When you look for your mama she's gone with the farewell blues
