Oh Daddy Blues Songtext
von Bessie Smith

Just like a flower, I am fading away
The doctor calls to see me most every day
But he don′t do me no good, why?
Because I'm lonesome for you
And if you care for me
Then you will listen to my plea


Oh, daddy
Look what you′re doing, look what you're doing
Oh, daddy
You with your foolin', think what you′re losing
All the little love I gave you
Is going to make you feel so awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You′ll curse the day that you ever quit me
Oh, daddy
Think when you're all alone

You′ll get so lonely, just wait and see
But there will be someone else making love to me
Then daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all

Oh, daddy
Look what you′re doing, look what you're doing
Oh, daddy


You and your foolin′, think what you're losing
All the little love I gave you
Is going to make me feel so awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
Oh, daddy
Think when you′re all alone
You know that you are getting old
You′ll miss the way I baked your jelly roll
Then daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all
