Says I love you mama, but you don't even care for me
Says I love you mama, but you don't even care for me
Because you a long tall woman,
And I sure God ain't going to let you be
Now she's long and she's tall, shaped just like a cannonball
Now she's long and she's tall, shaped just like a cannonball
Says I found that woman, where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog
Then I heard the church bells toning, way out on Dago Hill
Then I heard the church bells toning, way out on Dago Hill
Then my heart struck sorrow, I guess you know just how I feel
Says now tell me mama, what make you do me like you do
Says now tell me mama, what make you do me like you do
Now some day you going to want me, and I swear and I won't want you
Some people crave high yellow, please give me my black and brown
Some people crave high yellow, please give me my black and brown
Now if you mess with me mama, I'm sure going to turn your damper down
