Singin' the Blues (Till My Daddy Gets Home)

Oh! daddy I've been weepin'

Just like a willow tree

Without a wink of sleepin'

Where is your sympaththy?

All is black round the shack

Since you said "goodbye" to me.

Oh! I'm just singin' the blues

'till my daddy comes home.

The meanest feelin' pursues

Since he left me alone.

For ev'ry blue strain puts new pain right into my heart

and I just sigh at that cryin' part

(boo-oo-oo, your baby's blue).

It sure gets your nerves

When you hear yourself moan.

If I got all I deserves,

I wouldn't be here all alone

I wouldn't watch all night

And sit by the window with a candle light

Singin' the blues,

"till my daddy comes home.

I'm gonna search and find me,

a weepin' willow tree.

The weepin' will remind me,

Of my old used-to-be.

I'll just lie 'neath the sky,

with that tree for company.

...then repeat the chorus.
