Worn Down Daddy Blues

by Ida Cox

on Ida Cox Vol. 4 1927-1938 (1995)

The time has come, for us to part
I ain't going to cry, it won't break my heart
Because I'm through with you, and I hope you don't feel hurt

You are like an old horseshoe, that's had its day
You're like an old shoe, I must throw away
I'm through with you, and I hope you don't feel hurt

You're like an old ship, that sprung a leak
You ain't young no more, and your loving is weak
Now you know I'm through with you, and I hope you don't feel hurt

You ain't got no money, you're down and broke
You're just an old has‑been, like a worn out joke
I'm through with you, and I hope you don't feel hurt
