Lazy Daddy Blues by Edmonia Henderson Lyrics

[Verse]
My man won't work, and I'm sad and blue
But I'll love him 'til I die
[?] what love will do
It's made me pass so many good men by

[Chorus]
I'm blue and almost crazy
Oh, my man's so lazy
He won't do a thing but walk about
How my heart is achin'
Yes, it's almost breakin'
The landlord says he's going to put us out
Women are ravin' about my man
But I've got a gun layin' on my shelf
I want them all to understand
I must have my lazy daddy by myself
Lord, I'm almost dyin'
That's why I am cryin'
Trying to lose these lazy daddy blues
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Women are ravin' about my man
But I've got a gun laying on my shelf
I want them all to understand
I must have my lazy daddy by myself
Lord, I'm almost dyin'
That's why I am cryin'
Trying to lose these lazy daddy blues
