Papa Charlie Jackson — Hot Papa Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I ain’t good‑looking: and I don’t dress cute
But I just want to *break*: some good man’s *opportune*
I ain’t no race horse: I ain’t built for speed
But I got everything: that a race horse papa needs
You may fall from the mountain: down in the deep blue
sea
You ain’t done no falling: till you fall in love with me I ain’t no coalman: ain’t no coalman’s son
But I can keep you warm: until your coalman comes
Won’t you tell me pretty mama: I won’t have to wait
Will I be your regular: or did I come too late
I may look green: but I ain’t no clown
I’m just a red‑hot papa: just blowed in your town
