Hot Papa Blues

I ain't good‑looking: And I don't dress cute
But I just want to break: Some good man's opportune

I ain't no race horse: I ain't built for speed
But I got everything: That a race horse papa needs

You may fall from the mountain: Down in the deep blue
Sea
You ain't done no falling: Till you fall in love with me

I ain't no coalman: Ain't no coalman's son
But I can keep you warm: Until your coalman comes

Won't you tell me pretty mama: I won't have to wait
Will I be your regular: Or did I come too late

I may look green: But I ain't no clown
I'm just a red‑hot papa: Just blowed in your town
