Hot Papa Blues Songtext
von Papa Charlie Jackson

I ain′t good-lookin', and I don′t dress cute
I ain't good-lookin', and I don′t dress cute
But I just want to be some good man′s substitute

I ain't no race horse, I ain′t built for speed
I ain't no race horse, I ain′t built for speed
But I got everything that a red hot papa needs


You may fall from the mountains down in the deep blue sea
You may fall from the mountains down in the deep blue sea
You ain't done no fallin′ till you fall in love with me

I ain't no coal man, ain't no coal man′s son
I ain′t no coal man, ain't no coal man′s son
But I can keep you warm until your coal man comes

Why don't you tell me, pretty mama, so I won′t have to wait
Why don't you tell me, pretty mama, so I won′t have to wait
Can I be your regular, or did I come too late?

I may look green, but I ain't no clown
I may look green, but I ain't no clown
I′m just a red hot papa, just blowed in your town
