Worn Out Papa Blues Lyrics - Singles - Bessie Smith

Papa, papa, you in a good man's way 

Papa, papa, you in a good man's way 

I can find one better than you any time of day 

You ain't no good so you better haul your freight 

You ain't no good, you better haul your freight 

Mama wants the live wire, papa, you can take the gate 

I'm a red hot woman just full of flamin' youth 

I'm a red hot woman just full of flamin' youth 

You can't cool me, daddy, you no good, that's the truth 

All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me 

All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me 

You give me the willingness, now I'm glad I'm free 

I'm one woman, don't want no, no good man 

Yes, I'm one woman, don't want no, no good man 

You just like a worn out badly be neglected thing 

Yo, you've done failed, all your pep done gone 

Yo, you've done failed, all your pep done gone 

Pick up that suitcase, man, and travel on
