Lyrics Oh Papa Blues - Ma Rainey

Just like a rainbow I have faded away
My daddy leaves me ' most every day
But he don't't mean me no good; why?
Because I only whish he would
I'm almost going insane
I'm forever tryin' to call his name

Oh papa - look what you doin', look what you doin'
Op papa - you caused me ruinin', you caused me ruinin'
All my money, I give you
You treat me mean and made me awfully blue
Then you'll miss me, you're going to kiss me
You'll gret the day that you ever quit me

Oh papa -Pained to always see you siting at home
I give you money, don't rob me nor hide
But you even love me from the day I'm nuts
Papa, Papa now you won't have a mama at all

Oh papa - look what you doin', look what you doin'
Op papa - you caused me ruinin', you caused me ruinin'
All my money, I give you
You treat me mean and made me awfully blue
Then you'll miss me, you're going to kiss me
You'll gret the day that you ever quit me
