Stingaree Blues

[Verse 1]
I feel so sad today, my man has gone away
My heart is full of pain
He was so good to me, sweet papa Stingaree
I want him back again
I've got those lovin' blues, dyin' blues
For my sweet papa Stingaree

[Verse 2]
Lord, I woke up this morning, woke up this morning
Heard somebody callin' me
I say I woke up this morning, heard somebody callin' me
Now it must have been my sweet papa Stingaree

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
The man I love, Lord, the man I love
I said the man I love don't treat me right
Lord, the man I love sure don't treat me right
But the man I hate, I see him every night

[Verse 4]
Folks, I love my daddy, crazy about my daddy
I love my papa, but I hate his woman's name
I say I love my daddy, but I hate his woman's name
She's mighty nice to him, but I hate her just the same
