Down Home Blues (Original Recordings 1920 - 1921)
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 longing for you
And if you care for me
You will listen to my plea

Oh, Daddy!
Look what you're doing, look what you're doing
Oh, Daddy!
You with your fooling; Think what you're losing
Oh, all the little lovings that I gave to you
It's going to make you feel awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll regret the day that you ever quit me

Oh, Daddy!
Think when you're all alone
Why, you'll want me, just wait and see
Then there'll be someone else making love to me!
Then, Daddy! Daddy! You won't have no lover at all

Oh, Daddy!
Look what you're doing, look what you're doing!
Oh, Daddy!
You with your fooling
Think what you're losing
All the little lovings that I gave to you;
It's going to make you feel awfully blue
When you miss me and long to kiss me
You'll regret the day that you ever quit me

Oh, Daddy!
Think when you're all alone
Why, you'll want me, just wait and see
Then there'll be someone else making love to me
Then, Daddy! Daddy! You won't have no lover at all
