Daddy Blues Lyrics by Alberta Hunter

Alberta Hunter: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 1 (1921-1923)

0

[Verse]
I've been sad and blue all day long
It's all because my daddy has gone
Gone from me, just like before
And since he's gone, I miss him more
Forget him, how I try
It's no need, that's why I'll cry

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so lonesome
Each time my daddy's away
It keeps me worried
Both night and day
Every little thing goes wrong
Not a bit of joy comes along
And I just feel somehow
That I don't belong to nobody, no time
I get the worst blues
I miss that sweet daddy o' mine
Walked across the River Jordan
Before my time
'Cause there are lotsa lonesome daddies just as nice as can be
But there's only one that's got the brand of loving for me
That is why I'm blue
I've got the daddy blues

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so lonesome
Each time my daddy's away
It keeps me worried
Both night and day
Every little thing goes wrong
Not a bit of joy comes along
And I just feel somehow
That I don't belong to nobody, no time
I get the worst blues
I miss that sweet daddy o' mine
Walked across the River Jordan
Before my time
For there are lotsa lonesome daddies just as nice as can be
But there's only one that's got the brand of loving for me
That is why I'm blue
I've got the daddy blues
