Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now Are you trying to quit me, and you don't know how I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea Than to have the man I love, say he don't want me Lord Lord, Lordy Lordy Lord Lord Lord, Lordy Lordy Lord Oh the man I love, treats me like a dog I'd rather see, my coffin come rolling in my door I'd rather see, my coffin come rolling in my door Than to hear the man I love, say I don't want you no more
