[Verse 1]
I'm wild about my daddy, I want him all the time
Wild about my daddy, I want him all the time
But I don't want you, daddy, if I can't call you mine
[Verse 2]
Got the farewell blues, babe, and my trunk is packed
Got the farewell blues, babe, and my trunk is packed
But I don't want you, daddy, bring trouble, I ain't comin' back
[Verse 3]
Oh, fare you well, daddy, hon, it's your turn now
Fare you well, daddy, hon, it's your turn now
After all I've done, you mistreated me anyhow
[Verse 4]
Going through the woods, dear, I'm feelin' sad and blue
Going through the woods, babe, feelin' sad and blue
Lord, up jumped a rabbit, said, "Mama, I've got 'em too"
[Verse 5]
Snake starts to singin', oh how his voice could ring
Snake starts to singin', oh how his voice could ring
He says, "I'm no yellow jacket, but Lord, how I can sting"
[Verse 6]
Since my man left me, the others can't be found
Since my man left me, others can't be found
But before he left me, the other men was hangin' around
[Verse 7]
So fare you well, daddy, someday you'll hear bad news
So farewell, daddy, someday you'll hear bad news
When you look for your mama, she's gone with the farewell blues
