Lionel Hampton — Salty Papa Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I’ve got a man
He treats me like the rest
I said I’ve got a man
Treats me like the rest
He gets me so worried
I don’t know where I’m at Papa why you so salty
Why do you bring me down?
I said papa why you so salty
Why do you bring me down?
There’s no complaint
When my other man comes around
When I give you all my lovin'
You say I wear you out
When I give you none at all
You say you can’t do without
I ain’t aghast with you
You need a different line
Go get a fortune telling woman
Who knows how to read your mind
