i said you were a dear sweet mama
but i ain’t gonna call you sweet, no mo’
say you used to be a sweet mama
an i can’t call you sweet no mo’
an ev’ry time i come to yo’ house
it’s a man standin’ in your do’
i said i’m goin’ up the country
where the southern done cross the dog
i said i’m goin’ in up the country
where the southern done cross the dog
if you don’t see me tomorrow
you won’t have no man at all
baby, if i had wings like a bullfrog on a pond
lord, if i just had wings, mama
like a bullfrog on a pond
i would ride right ‘chere
and lie in sweet mama’s arms
lord, said the blues just a rabbit
runnin’ for a solid mile
said, the blues just a rabbit
runnin’ for a solid mile
lord, that fool couldn’t catch him
and he sat right down and cried
i said, ‘look-a-here now, baby
there’s somethin’ really worryin’ me’
i said, ‘look-a-here, sweet mama
there’s something really worryed me’
you know my plan need a future
my old time used to be.
