Getting' All Wet - Leroy Carr

Woke up my baby: come my love

Unlock the door: the sky’s above

Are leaking: on your bed

Papa’s in the rain: getting all wet

Getting all wet: getting all wet

And if I die: you will regret

Papa had: no place to go

You got a nice warm room: and so

Share it with papa: don’t forget

Papa’s in the rain: getting all wet

This rain ain’t healthy: I’ve been told

Hear me cough: catching cold

Ain’t no telling: what I’ll get

Papa’s in the rain: getting all wet

Papa’s got: no coat at all

You got a raincoat: in your hall

This suit I told you: was too small

You nappy head: you knew it all

It lets me stand: but I can’t sit

Papa’s in the rain: getting all wet

Papa must eat: or he will die

You got pork chops: you got pie

Graveyard: is such a lonely place

Don’t want dirt: thrown in my face

Pity old papa: and don’t forget

Papa’s in the rain: getting all wet
