Mama gets high when a good man in the morning
|
Gives her tea and takes her milk and apple pie
|
Mama don't cry when a main man is gone and
|
Has left her with that sweet ol' "bye and bye"
|
|
Mama couldn't pay the rent
|
The price of booze no cheaper
|
Lonely nights are often spent
|
In Billiard Halls and bar-room brawls
|
|
Mama gets by, but her men find her saying
|
You're good, but you ain't like you used to be
|
Mama don't cry when it's dues that she's paying
|
It's him she's waiting by that door to see
|
|
Turn your light down low, woman
|
|
Mama, Mama, oooh
|
Mama, Mama
|
|
Mama still remembers his eyes
|
Like a road map of New York city
|
She always had forgiven his lies
|
She loved that man, and then he ran
|
|
I tell you Mama gets high when a good man in the morning
|
Gives her tea and takes her milk and apple pie
|
Mama don't cry when a main man is gone and
|
Has left her with that sweet ol' "bye and bye"
|
|
Hi Mama, I think I'd better say just one more time
|
Bayou-by, bayou-by, bayou-by, bayou-by, bayou-by, bayou-by, bayou-by, bayou-by
|
Oh bye bye
|
