Lyrics
Listen here pretty papa
Please get out of my sight
I'm calling it quits now
Right this very night
You done had your days
Please stop hangin’ around
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
You'd better go down to the blacksmith shop
Get an overhaul
You ain’t got nothin’, daddy
Make a good woman bawl
When you was in your prime
You used to strut around
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
When the sun is shining
That's the time to make hay
You better get an umbrella
It’s going to rain today
Nobody wants a baby
When a real man can be found
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
There's no need to cryin’, or makin’ a show
This man he taught me ‘bout lovin’, more than you’ll ever know
He is the king of lovin', all that he lacks is a crown
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
