Beale Street Papa
Why don't you come back home
It isn't proper to leave your mama all alone
Sometimes I was cruel that was true
But Papa you know Mama never two-timed you
Boo-hoo I'm blue
So how come you do me like you do
I'm cryin'
Beale Street Papa don't mess around with me
There's plenty pettin' that I can get in Tennessee
I'll still get my sweet cooking constantly
But not the kind you served to me
So Beale Street Papa come back home
