Leroy Carr – Papa’s on the House Top Lyrics

Artist: Leroy Carr
Song: Papa’s on the House Top

Mama made papa be quiet as a mouse
So papa climbed on top of the house
Made a lot of whoopee, made a lot of noise
Stood up and cheered with the rest of the boys

Baby’s in the cradle, brother’s gone to town
Sister’s in the parlour, trying on a gown
Mama’s in the kitchen messing all around
Papa’s on the house top, won’t come down

The blues they’ve come, the blues they’ve come
Nobody knows where the blues come from
The blues they’ve gone, the blues they’ve gone
And everybody’s happy when the old blues gone

Baby’s in the cradle, brother’s gone to town
Sister’s in the parlour, trying on a gown
Mama’s in the kitchen messing all around
Papa’s on the house top, won’t come down

Papa saw a chicken out in the yard
Picked up a rock and hit him hard
Hit him hard, killed him dead
Now the chicken’s in the gravy and the gravy’s on the bread

Baby’s in the cradle, brother’s gone to town
Sister’s in the parlour, trying on a gown
Mama’s in the kitchen messing all around
Papa’s on the house top, won’t come down

Hush-a-little baby, don’t you cry
Blues gonna leave you by and by
Papa came in, sure was cold
Put the baby in the cradle and the blues outdoor

Baby’s in the cradle, brother’s gone to town
Sister’s in the parlour, trying on a gown
Mama’s in the kitchen messing all around
Papa’s on the house top, won’t come down
