I Dont Know And I Dont Care Blues by Trixie Smith Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1924

[Verse]
Sadie Snow was a carefree gal
With a heart like a piece of lead
She had a man she used to love
"But not no more," she said
He packed his grip and went away
With blood in both his eyes
A friend asked Sally where he went
And coldly she replied:

[Chorus]
I don't know and I don't care
Where my lovin' daddy's gone
He should have gone long ago
I'd like to know what he's waiting on
Sweet mama Sally's like the cold March wind
Changes every now and then
She found it really pays you in the end
To make a little change in men
So I don't know and I don't care
Which way my daddy's gone
If you love a man, he'll treat you like a dog
If you don't, he'll hop around you like a frog
So I don't know and I don't care
Where my lovin' daddy's gone
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
I ain't seen the man that I can't stand to lose
It's 'cause I keep the don't know and the don't care blues
Lord, I don't know and I don't care
Where my lovin' daddy's gone
