Daisy

by Brownie McGhee

on The Folkways Years, 1945-1959 (1991)

I got me a little woman
She's every day the same
Reason I love that woman
Because Daisy is her name

Well, you know I love Daisy
Love her with all my heart
Gonna lose my mind thinking
Someday that we'll have to part

Daisy, Daisy
Don't you hear me calling your name
I ain't calling you so loud
But, I'm calling you so nice an' plain

I went to see Daisy one morning
And her doorbell would not ring
Start to walk in the streets
And calling my baby's name

Daisy, oh, Daisy
Daisy, oh, Daisy
What in the world, baby
What in the world are you trying to do
Trying to mistreat me, Daisy
Good as this boy wants to be to you

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, oh, Daisy
Don't you hear me, hear me calling your name
I ain't calling you so loud
But I'm calling you so nice an' plain

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, oh, Daisy
Well, I ain't gonna call you no more
Well, the next time I call you, baby
I'm gonna even break down that door
