Ida Cox Give Me A Break Blues Lyrics

Give Me A Break Blues Lyrics

Give me a break papa, don't throw your sweet mama down

Give me a break
papa, don't throw your sweet mama down

You treated me so mean, ain't you
tired of doggin' me 'round?



There was a time when nobody wanted
you but me

There was a time when nobody wanted you but me

You
didn't have no friends, you were poor and hungry as could be



I
took you up and fed you, give you a nice home too

I took you up and fed
you, give you a nice home too

That's why I can't understand why you treat
me dirty like you do



Now I'm sad and lonely, feel mistreated and
blue

Now I'm sad and lonely, feel mistreated and blue

Won't you
give me a break papa, like I gave you?
