Ida Cox — Ida Cox's Lawdy Lawdy Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Tell me pretty daddy: what’s the matter now
Are you trying to quit me: and you don’t know how
I’d rather be dead: buried in the sea
Than to have the man I love: say he don’t want me Lord Lord: Lordy Lordy Lord
Oh the man I love: treats me like a dog
I’d rather see: my coffin come rolling in my door
Than to hear the man I love: say I don’t want you no more
