Sweet Mama |
| So my sweet mama packed her bag and started away |
| She said she’s leaving town |
| Now if I had only thought and asked her to stay |
| She might have set that satchel down |
| Well I’m feeling awfully lonesome and blue |
| Since my mama went away |
| Now if I had only thought and asked her to stay |
| She might have set that satchel down |
| Sweet mama, papa’s getting mad |
| I know the sweetest peaches don’t grow on trees |
| I know the sweetest honey don’t come from the bees |
| I’m tired of listening to your corrections |
| You’d better find some good protection |
| Sweet mama, papa’s done gone mad |
| I never thought I’d ever feel so bad |
| You flirted with the butcher; |
| you flirted with the baker |
| Now you’re flirting with the undertaker |
| Sweet mama, papa’s done gone mad |
| (break) |
| Sweet mama, papa’s done gone mad |
| I never thought I’d ever feel so bad |
| You flirted with the butcher; |
| you flirted with the baker |
| Now you’re flirting with the undertaker |
| Sweet mama, papa’s done gone mad |
