Main Papa's Blues

I've got too many women to be in the shape I'm in
I've got too many women to be in the shape I'm in
Times shouldn't be hard with me, there's too many workin' men

There's men working in town and on good roads and on the farm
Men working in town and on good roads and on the farm
You can get some of thei' money if you hold them in your arms

Put a feeling on him, baby, that man is bound to fall
Put a feeling on him, baby, that man is bound to fall
And if he's got a thousand dollars, you can get it all

He may try to act wise and won't want to turn loose that dime
Umm, won't want to turn loose that dime
But pull him up to you and call him
"Daddy" and see him change his mind

You gals do like I tell you, if you get 'rested I'll go your bail
Do like I tell you, if you get 'rested I'll go your bail
And we'll have plenty money and never go to jail

Put your make-up on, baby, go see what you can find
Put your make-up on, baby, go see what you can find
You can't tell what's for you 'til you get out on the line
