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

And my trunk is packed

Got the farewell blues

And my trunk is packed

But I don't want no daddy

Because that I ain't

Comin' back

Oh fare you well daddy

Honey it's your turn now

Fare you well daddy

Honey 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

The 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 fare you well daddy

Someday you'll hear bad news

When you look for your mama

She's gone with the farewell blues
