Blues For Mama
Hey Lordy mama
I heard you wasn't feeling' good,
They're spreadin' dirty rumors
All around the neighborhood.
They say you're mean and evil
And don't know what to do,
That's the reason that he's gone
And left you black and blue.
Hey, yeah, tell me what you gonna do now.
They say he's left you all alone
To weather this old storm,
He's got another woman now
Hangin' on his arm, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That old fool's tellin' everybody
He's sick and tired of you,
Hey Lordy Lordy mama
What you gonna do
Hey, yeah, tell me what you gonna do.
They say you love to fuss and fight
And bring a good man down,
And don't know how to treat him
When he takes ya' on the town.
They say you ain't behind him
And just don't understand,
And think that you're a woman
But actin' like a man
Hey, Lordy mama, what you gonna do now?
Get your nerves together, baby
And set the record straight, set it straight,
Let the whole round world know
It wasn't you that cause his bitter fate.
All these years you loved him
And he knows it's true,
'Cause what you're wantin' for your man
Is what he's wantin', too
Hey, yeah, tell me what you gonna do now.
When you love a man enough
You're bound to disagree,
'Cause ain't nobody perfect
'Cause ain't nobody free
Hey, Lordy mama, tell me what you gonna do
What you gonna do.
