Just like a flower I am fading away
   The doctor call to see me most every day
   But he don't do me no good, why?
   Because I'm lonesome for you
   And if you care for me
   Then you will listen to my plea
   Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'
   Oh, daddy, you with your foolin', think what you're losin'
   All the little love I gave you
   Is goin' to make you feel so awfully blue
   When you miss me and long to kiss me
   You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
   Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone
   You'll get so lonely just wait and see
   But there will be someone else makin' love to me
   Then daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all
   Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'
   Oh, daddy, you and your foolin', think what you losin'
   All the little love I gave you
   Is goin' to make me feel so awfully blue
   When you miss me, and long to kiss me
   You'll curse the day that you ever quit me
   Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone
   You know that you are getting old
   You'll miss the way I baked your jelly roll
   And daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all
