RED HOT PAPA
(Penny)
As recorded by Hank Penny and his Radio Cowboys on Vocalion 05321 (1939)

Now, I’m just a daddy from out o’ the sticks,
But listen here, mama; I can show you some tricks.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.
Now, I’ve a gal from Alabam’
And I throwed her down ‘cause she wasn’t worth a flip.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.

Oh, I’ve got a gal and she lives down the lane.
She’s tall and skinny but I love her just the same.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.
Old Uncle Joe ain’t seventy years.
He says: “Look out, mama; I’m a-shiftin’ my gears.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.”

Now, I love my sweetie and I love her good,
But I still don’t love her like a good man should.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.
Now, I may be old, a-gettin’ up in years,
But I can still climb a hill without shiftin’ my gears.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.

Now, I’ve got a gal and her name is Jean.
I’ll tell you, boys, she sure is a queen.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.
Oh, I’m just a daddy from out o’ the sticks,
But listen here, mama; I can show you some tricks.
  I’m a red-hot papa and I just got into town.
