Mama and Papa Hopkins |
I wonder why my mama don’t love my papa no more? |
I guess my daddy been doing somethin' wrong |
I wonder why my mama don’t love my papa no more? |
Yeah, my daddy must been doing somethin' wrong |
You know, I asked my mama, I said «Mama, what’s the trouble?» |
She looked at me and said, «Boy, you’d better go head on» |
I looked at my mama, she looked at me unconcerned |
I told my mama, «Don't forget mama, you never gets too old to learn» |
That time I was talkin' my daddy, walked in the door |
Said, «Let that boy alone, 'cause he’s tellin' you something right, |
don’t ya know?» |
Mmmmm, you never gets too old to learn |
Still, I say my papa must-a done somethin' wrong |
Oh yeah, to 'cause my mama’s heart to ruin |
Well, you take two old people that’s been together a long time |
They don’t want children’s or nobody else messin' round their bidness |
See, that’s what I’m talkin bout! |
But, the reason why I was talkin', 'cause my mama |
I didn’t want her to feel too bad over what papa do |
And I don’t want papa to feel too bad over what mama do |
And I had-a tell 'em |
You two people is livin', you been together for a great, long time |
You two people’s been livin', yeah you been together for a great, long time |
Yeah, you know you had four boys and one girl to raise |
Now, ya better get bad things off your mind |
Y’all just get together and try to get along |
'cause, you ain’t got many more days here |
You know, then papa told mama, «come, sit down on my knee» |
Said, «Little things I’ve did, will you please, forgive me?» |
And it made me feel so good, man, I went truckin' on down the line |
You know I wa’t’nt gonna leave 'til I get them old folks together |
Whoa yeah, and get bad things of they mind |
Sho’h 'nough |
