Lyrics Stingaree Blues - Fats Waller, Alberta Hunter

Stingaree Blues

I feel so sad today
My man is gone away
My heart is full of pain
He was so good to me
Sweet papa Stingaree
I want him back again!
I got those lovin' blues, dyin' blues
For my sweet papa Stingaree!
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning
I heard somebody callin' me:
«Sweet mama, mama,»
I woke up this morning
I heard somebody callin' me;
It must have been my sweet papa Stingaree
I tried to treat him right
I kissed him every night
But it was all in vain
He gave the door to me
Sweet papa Stingaree
I love him just the same
I got those cryin' blues, dyin' blues
For my sweet papa Stingaree!
Blues in the bottle
Blues in the bottle
I’ve got stoppers in my hand
Sweet papa, papa
Blues in the bottle
I’ve got stoppers in my hand
Blues in the bottle
Blues for my loving man
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder
Wasn’t he a teasin' brown
Hey, lordy, lordy!
Sometimes I wonder
Just give me a teasin' brown
A yellow man will keep you worried all the time
I mean all the time!
