Hey pretty mama I'm as blue as the skies above Hey pretty mama you're the only woman I love And your daddy's got them "love you but I just can't have you" blues Honey ease my mind You told me if I called you on the phone tonight you'd be in What makes you tell me them lies when you know it's a doggone sin I guess I'll have to settle for them "love you, can't have you" blues You just wasn't there that's all Break (guitar) You may be havin' your fun you may be out on the run that's fine But a love like yours baby someday is bound to go blind So come home because your daddy's got them "love you can't have you blues" You better change your mind Break (fiddle) I've reached my verdict that you women are all the same You run away and leave me then you say I've got myself to blame So come on back daddy's got them "love you can't have you blues" I'll never change my mind Break (guitar) If I look at the wall that old wall looks back at me Everywhere that I look it's the same old color to me (blue!) So hurry home daddy's got them "love you can't have you" blues
