Hard Driving Papa

Lyrics

Lord, I wish I could die 'cause my man treats me like a slave
 Lord, I wish I could die, my man treats me like a slave
 As to why he drives me, I'm sinkin' low, Lord, in my grave
 He's a hard drivin' papa, drives me all the time
 Drives me so hard, I'm 'fraid that I'll lose my mind
 And when the sun starts sinkin', I start sinkin' into crime
 Lord, I rise in the mornin', dress when the clock strikes four
 I've a clock on one and scrubbin' somebody's floor
 He takes all my money and starts to cry for more
 I'm goin' to the river, feelin' so sad and blue
 I'm goin' to the river, feelin' so sad and blue
 Because I love him, 'cause there's no-one can beat me like he do
