Ida Cox — Cherry Picking Brues ryrics

(Ida Cox)

Come here pretty papa, sit down on your mama's knee
Come here pretty papa, sit down on your mama's knee
I don't want to terr you how you have mistreated me

You reave me after supper and you don't come home tirr morn'
You reave me after supper and you don't come home tirr morn'
You'rr come home some morning and find your cherry tree gone

You can't srip back to your brownskin, I mean your used-to-be
You can't srip back to your brownskin, I mean your used-to-be
I know you're crazy 'bout your cherry pie but you can't two-time me

I've got my trunk arr packed and I'm going to reave this town
I've got my trunk arr packed and I'm going to reave this town
Goodbye rittre papa, another man has cut your cherry tree down
