Mama, Don't Treat Your Daughter Mean |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
'Cause you treat her so mean and she’s only sweet sixteen |
It was late last Friday evening, when everything was still |
I heard somebody calling my name outside my window sill |
I got up and I looked outside strainin' my eyes to see |
And my heart went wild when I realized just who was calling me |
I hollered «Hey!» |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
'Cause you treat her so mean and she’s only sweet sixteen |
Now her eyes was blazing up at me |
And her hair was black as night |
Well her naked skin shone like gold |
Out in the pale moonlight |
Then she took my hand and she pulled me down |
Where the grass was grown up tall |
Then she moved her body all around |
Just like a cannon ball |
I hollered «Hey!» |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
'Cause you treat her so mean and she’s only sweet sixteen |
Well yonder comes your mama, girl, 'cross the field |
Runnin' and a-shakin' like an automobile |
Daddy’s got a shotgun in his hand |
They just don’t understand |
Now the first time I seen that sweet little girl |
She was runnin' home from Sunday school |
And the next time I seen that sweet little thing |
When she broke her mama’s rule |
But the last time I seen that sweet little girl |
She was filled with a strange desire |
Rollin' and tumblin' out on the cold wet ground |
Her skin burnin' up just like a cane fire |
She called my name a thousand ways |
The tears come streaming on down her face |
Just when I was 'bout to blow my stack |
Her daddy came a-creepin' and a-crawlin' up behind |
And he shot me in the back |
Hey mama |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
Hey, mama, don’t you treat your daughter mean |
Hey mama don’t you treat your daughter mean |
Hey mama don’t you treat your daughter mean |
When you treat her so mean she’s only sweet sixteen |
