Four Day Worry Blues---Lead Belly
Naaaa . . . hey, hey hey
Naaaa . . . Daddy you on my mind

I ain't got but little business, whenDaddy
I am cryin'
Yes I would not been here had it not been for you

Said I would not been here had it not been for you

Treat me low down and dirty, Daddy that's the way you
do

Oooooooooh pretty papa . . . Woh!
OooOooooh pretty papa . . . Oh!

Yes I ain't gonna be your low down dog no more
Been your dog, every since I entered your door
[spoken
She was cookin' my breakfast and I'd been out all night
long

And I was so ashamed of myself to hear her standin' in
there cryin'
And when she began to cry I'd get up and go
and pat her on the shoulder
And here're the words she said: [/spoken
"Now I'm goin' away to wear you off my mind
I've got the blues Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'
I've got another pretty papa to ease me and to keep me
from cryin'"
[spoken
'bout you had another pretty papa
I had to get up and go in the kitchen and see what is
the matter with her.
She commenced to cryin' again: [/spoken
"NoooOooOoow . . . Daddy what a low down feelin'
NoooOooOoow . . . Daddy what a low down feelin'"

Been my daily occupation, takin' the monkey mens' women
