Kind Mama

She's a real kind mama looking for another man,
She ain't got nobody to hold her hand

Way down yonder on Cripple Creek
Hemp don't grow but sixteen feet
Would go to bed but it ain't no use
They pile up on the bed like chickens on a roost.

She's a real kind mama looking for another man
And she ain't got nobody to hold her hand

The rooster chew tobacco and the hen dip snuff
Said he can't shimmy but he struts his stuff.

She's a real kind mama looking for another man
And she ain't got nobody to hold her hand.

See that fella with that derby on
Look good to me just as sure as you're born
I'll tell you the truth and it's a natural fact
Shoulda been a rule 'gainst being that black.

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

(Play that boy)

See that fellow that's standing right there
He don't live here but he's somewhere
Little patch of hair right around his mouth
Like he swallowed a mule and left his tail hanging out.

Real kind mama looking for another man
She ain't got nobody to hold her hand.

Wake up in the morning at a half past three
Thanks pretty mama done put out what I need.

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

Soon in the morning at half past four
Hot shot rider rappin' at her door.

She's a real kind mama looking for another man
She ain't got nobody in town to hold her hand.

Went to the door and the door was locked
Think that baby tryin' to eagle rock.

She's a real kind mama looking for another man,
Real kind mama looking for another man,
And she ain't got nobody here to hold her hand.

(guitar solo)

Kind mama looking for another man.
