Hard Hearted Papa Lyrics

I'm a hard‑hearted papa : there's nothing pleases me
I've had to be good long enough : now I'm going to be
mean as I can be

I don't even like what I drink : my food don't taste
right at all
And a lowdown no‑good woman : is the cause of it all

When I tried to be soft and easy : people would not let
me be Now I'm just as mean and hateful : swear as I can be

I spent all of my money : showing my friends a great big
time
Now they laugh and grin at me : because I ain't got a
lousy dime

So I'm a hard‑hearted papa : I've done changed my ways
And I think they will stay changed : for the rest of my
days
