Stingaree Blues

I feel so sad today, my man has gone away

My heart is full of pain

He was so good to me, sweet papa Stingaree

I want him back again

I've got those lovin' blues, dyin' blues

For my sweet papa Stingaree

Lord, I woke up this morning, woke up this morning

Heard somebody callin' me

I say I woke up this morning, heard somebody callin' me

Now it must have been my sweet papa Stingaree

The man I love, Lord, the man I love

I said the man I love don't treat me right

Lord, the man I love sure don't treat me right

But the man I hate, I see him every night

Folks, I love my daddy, crazy about my daddy

I love my papa, but I hate his woman's name

I say I love my daddy, but I hate his woman's name

She's mighty nice to him, but I hate her just the same
