I'm going away, it won't be long,
I know you'll miss me from singing this lonesome song.
I'm goin' away, it won't be long.
And then you know you must have done me wrong.

My daddy got ways like a baby child, those doggone ways are driving me wild.
Those doggone ways are drivin' me wild,
And that is why you never see poor Lottie smile.

My heart aches so, I can't be satisfied, I believe I'll take a train and ride
I believe I'll take a train and ride
'Cause I miss my cruel daddy from my side

I've got Cadillac ways, Hudson Super ideas, I can't see what brought me here
I can't see what brought me here
It must have been this new Kans' City beer

Hee-eee-eee
Hee-eee-eee-eee-eee
Eee-eee-eee-eee

I'm lame and blind, can't hardly see, my doggone daddy turned his back on me
'Cause I'm lame, I can't hardly see
I ain't got nobody to really comfort me
