Overalls Papa Blues
Nineteen and thirty, left me in a strain
Nineteen and thirty, left me in a strain
Now it's nineteen and thirty-one, I'm gon' make a change
When I first met you, baby, back in twenty-two
When I first met you, baby, back in twenty-two
Ever since that time, I've taken care of you
I worked in the rain and the cold, snow up above my knees
Worked in the rain and the cold, snow up above my knees
But I won't do that no more, baby, you're too doggone hard to please
You won't wash and iron my clothes, my meals are never on time
You won't wash and iron my clothes, my meals are never on time
So that's the reason why, baby, your daddy have changed his mind
I bought you fur coats and diamonds, my money, you got it all
Bought you fur coats and diamonds, my money, you got it all
And you wore fine clothes, baby, and I wore overalls
Stayed with you nine years, baby, but now I'm done
Stayed with you nine years, baby, but now I'm done
I made a resolution to leave you in nineteen thirty-one
Nineteen and thirty, left me in a strain
Now it's nineteen and thirty-one, I'm gon' make a change
When I first met you, baby, back in twenty-two
When I first met you, baby, back in twenty-two
Ever since that time, I've taken care of you
I worked in the rain and the cold, snow up above my knees
Worked in the rain and the cold, snow up above my knees
But I won't do that no more, baby, you're too doggone hard to please
You won't wash and iron my clothes, my meals are never on time
You won't wash and iron my clothes, my meals are never on time
So that's the reason why, baby, your daddy have changed his mind
I bought you fur coats and diamonds, my money, you got it all
Bought you fur coats and diamonds, my money, you got it all
And you wore fine clothes, baby, and I wore overalls
Stayed with you nine years, baby, but now I'm done
Stayed with you nine years, baby, but now I'm done
I made a resolution to leave you in nineteen thirty-one
