Leroy Carr - Papa's On The House Top
Mama made Papa be quiet as a mouse
Papa climbed up on the top o' the house
Made a lot o' whoopee made a lot o' noise
Stood up an' cheered with the rest of the boys
Baby's in the cradle Brother's gone to town
Sister's in the parlor tryin' on a gown
Mama's in the kitchen messin' all aroun'
Papa's on the housetop won't come down
The blues they come The blues they come
Nobody knows where the blues come from
The blues they go The blues they go
And everybody's happy when the old blues go
Baby's in the cradle Brother's gone to town
Sister's in the parlor tryin' on a gown
Mama's in the kitchen messin' all aroun'
Papa's on the housetop won't come down
Papa saw a chicken out in the yard
Picked up a rock and hit him hard
Hit him hard killed him dead
Now the chicken's in the gravy and the gravy's on the bread
Baby's in the cradle Brother's gone to town
Sister's in the parlor tryin' on a gown
Mama's in the kitchen messin' all aroun'
Papa's on the housetop won't come down
Hush little baby don't you cry
Blues are gonna leave you by and by
Papa came in sure was sore
Put the baby in the cradle and the blues outdoor
Baby's in the cradle Brother's gone to town
Sister's in the parlor tryin' on a gown
Mama's in the kitchen messin' all aroun'
Papa's on the housetop won't come down
