What's the Matter Now

Papa, Papa, treetop tall
 Hear your lovin' mama call
 You ain't doin' no good
 You ain't treatin' me like you should
 Papa, Papa, hear my pleas
 Stop mistreatin' me
 You stay, stay away
 That's why you hear me say
 What's the matter now?
 What's the matter now?
 Ain't seen you, honey
 Since well last spring
 Tell me, pretty Papa
 Have you broke that thing?
 What's the matter now
 That we can't get along somehow?
 I ain't had no sugar in a long time
 Tell me, what's the matter now?
 Daddy, tell me what's the matter now?
 ♪
 What's the matter now?
 What's the matter now?
 You never give me lovin'
 Like a daddy should
 Tell me, do you really think
 I'm made o' wood?
 What's the matter now?
 Cruel Daddy, we can't get along somehow
 Mama wants some honey from that honeycomb
 Tell me, what's the matter now?
 Daddy, tell me what's the matter now?
