[ Featuring Bessie Smith ]
Lookee here daddy, I wanna tell you, please get out o' my sight
I'm playin' quits now, right from this very night
You've had your day, don't stand around and frown
You've been a good ole wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
Now, you better go to the blacksmith's shop and get yourself overhauled
There's nothin' about you to make a good homin' for
Nobody wants a baby when a real man can be found
You've been a good old wagon, daddy, but you done broke down
When the sun is shinin', it's time to make hay
I've seen 'mobiles operate, you can't make that wagon pay
When you were in your prime, you loved to run around
You've been a good ole wagon, honey, but you done broke down
There's no need to cry and make a big show
This man has taught me more about lovin' than you will ever know
He is the king of lovin', has manners of a crown
He's a good ole wagon, daddy, and he ain't broke down
