Rum Cola Papa - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

I’ve been drinkin since my childhood

Like my whiskey good and strong

Got to have my fire water

No need to think I’m wrong

I’m a rum cola papa

Maybe you will disagree

There aint no other kind of drink

Yeah that will get me out of my misery

Some say rocking rye will get it Other crave a stark highball

Bring me rum cola momma

And I think I’ll tell it all

For I’m a rum cola papa

Maybe you will disagree

There ain’t no other kind of drink

Yes that’ll get me out of my misery

I met a friend of mine this morning

He was sober for a change

Thought it was my place to warn him

He was acting kinda strange

For I’m a rum cola papa

Maybe you will disagree

There ain’t no other kind of drink

Yes that’ll get me out of my misery

There be all kind of people

That grows on my family tree

Dad likes bourbon in his coffee

Mom drinks beer instead of tea

Cuz I’m a rum cola papa

Maybe you will disagree

There aint no other kind of drink

Yes that’ll get me out of my misery
