Once I had a loving daddy
Just as sweet as he could be
But my ever-loving daddy
He's a-gone from me!
And since he left me behind
Here's what's on my mind, I find;
Ain't got nobody to grind my coffee in the morning
Ain't got nobody to serve my breakfast in bed!
My daddy went away
A week ago today;
How am I gonna find a-nother coffee grinder
To do my grindin' like my sweet man could do?
Ain't got nobody to light my brand new percolator
Ain't got nobody to heat my oven duly!
When my daddy would love me, he was oh so good
He could even haul my ashes, he would chop my kindlin' wood!
Ain't got nobody to love me like before
And do my grinding for me!
My daddy used to love me pretty, I'll confess;
Believe me, he could do it different from the rest!
Ain't got nobody who could put me to a test
And do my grinding for me, I say
And do my grinding for me!
