[Verse 1]
C
Talk about blues the mean ol' blues
C
We all have the blues sometimes
        F             C
But the meanest blues I've ever had
    D7               G7
Is about that gal of mine, eeh, eeh,
 eeh

[Bridge 1]
  C
A marriage license and a wedding 
ring
F                                
To that pretty mama don't mean a 
C
thing

[Bridge 2]
C
When the stars step in, it ain't no 
use
          F                        
Cause the trifling mamas got a good
     C
 excuse

[Verse 2]
C
High powered mama
F               C
Get yourself in gear
        F               C
For the way you've been stepping out
D7       G7           G
It won't work here

[Verse 3]
  C
I was a good man
C
And you had a good home
        D7            G
But you just couldn't leave
               C
Other daddies alone

[Chorus]
C
I'm going to leave you now
        F                  C
And you going to miss your daddy
    G        C
And miss him how

[Verse 4]
C
I bought you a home
    C/F        C
And give you a car
    C/F         C
And half of the time
  D7         G7
I don't know where you are

[Verse 5]
     C
When I was a brakeman
C/F           C
Riding on the rail
C/F             C
You had another daddy
G              C
In the county jail

[Chorus]
C
So high powered mama
    C/F         C
I'm leaving you now
       C/F                C
You're going to miss your daddy
G           C
And miss me how
