Hard Hearted Papa (Take 1) |
| I’m a hard‑hearted papa: there’s nothing pleases me |
| I’ve had to be good long enough: now I’m going to be mean as I can be |
| I don’t even like what I drink: my food don’t taste right at all |
| And a lowdown no‑good woman: is the cause of it all |
| When I tried to be soft and easy: people would not let me be |
| Now I’m just as mean and hateful: swear as I can be |
| I spent all of my money: showing my friends a great big time |
| Now they laugh and grin at me: because I ain’t got a lousy dime |
| So I’m a hard‑hearted papa: I’ve done changed my ways |
| And I think they will stay changed: for the rest of my days |
