Daddy, you tried to get away day by day
Papa, mama said some things that made you stay
I know you love me, daddy it’s understood
Daddy, you know your mama means you good
I’ve got something that always brings ‘em back
My daddy loves the ground where I [?]
I’ve got a feeling that I wanna be mean
I can do my stuff and I’m gon’ do it clean

I’ve stopped my man ‘cause he was sure runnin’ round
I ain’t no one, I mean nobody’s step child
I’ve got [?] and strut my stuff
I told my daddy how I strut my stuff
Something ‘bout daddy makes me sure wanna play
I can play a game any day
You can get rough but I will sure stand
I can tell the worried now that you’re my man
‘Cause I’ve really stoppеd my good man
I mean I’ve stopped my good man

[Cornet solo with Clarinet: Louis Armstrong with Johnny Dodds]

You can gеt rough but I will too
Sweet mama will put that thing on you
‘Cause I’ve really stopped my good man
I mean I’ve stopped my good man
