[Verse 1: Ida Cox & Papa Charlie Jackson] My daddy's done quit me and the talk's all over town (Lord, man, man, man) My daddy's done quit me and the talk's all over town (Lord, man, man, man) And I'm too good a woman to let that talk go 'round (Lord, man, man, man) [Verse 2: Ida Cox & Papa Charlie Jackson] My face may be smilin', but my heart cries out in pain (Oh sing it, sister Ida, sing it) My face may be smilin', but my heart cries out in pain (Lord, man, man, man) I feel like screaming every time I hear his name (Mister man, mister man, mister man) [Verse 3: Ida Cox & Papa Charlie Jackson] Tell me, pretty papa, tell me, what have I done? (Lord, man, man, man) Tell me, pretty papa, tell me, what have I done? (Lord, man, man, man) I'm gonna please you, papa, if it takes from sun to sun (Lord, man, man, man) [Instrumental break] Oh, play that thing, sweet papa Charlie Jackson [Verse 4: Ida Cox & Papa Charlie Jackson] Daddy, sweet daddy, mama do-double-do love you (Lord, man, man, man) Daddy, sweet daddy, mama do-double-do love you (Come get me man, man, man, man) Oh, it must be that hateful, ugly way you do (Lord, man, man, man) [Verse 5: Ida Cox & Papa Charlie Jackson] I'm gonna eagle rock you, papa, then I'm going to Sally Long (Mister man, man, man, man) I'm gonna eagle rock you, papa, then I'm going to Sally Long (Lord, man, man, man) I'm going to win you back, sweet papa, and stop singing this lonesome song (Lord, man, man, man)
