Just like a flower I am fading away
The doctor call 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 doin`, look what you doin`
Oh, daddy, you with your foolin`, think what you`re losin`
All the little love I gave you
Is goin` 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 makin` love to me
Then daddy, daddy, you won`t have no mama at all
Oh, daddy, look what you doin`, look what you doin`
Oh, daddy, you and your foolin`, think what you losin`
All the little love I gave you
Is goin` 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
And daddy, daddy, you won`t have no mama at all
