0l' black Bascom, don't break no mirrors
|
Cold black water dog, make no tears
|
You say you love me with what may be love
|
Don't you remember makin' baby love?
|
Got your steam drill built and you're lookin' for some kid
|
To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did
|
But I know that you know that I know that you show
|
Something is tearing up your mind.
|
|
Tell me, momma,
|
Tell me, momma,
|
Tell me, momma, what is it?
|
What's wrong with you this time?
|
|
Hey, John, come and get me some candy goods
|
Shucks, it sure feels like it's in the woods
|
Spend some time on your January trips
|
You got tombstone moose up and your brave-yard whips
|
If you're anxious to find out when your friendship's gonna end
|
Come on, baby, I'm your friend!
|
And I know that you know that I know that you show
|
Something is tearing up your mind.
|
|
Tell me, momma,
|
Tell me, momma,
|
Tell me, momma, what is it?
|
What's wrong with you this time?
|
|
Ohh, we bone the editor, can't get read
|
But his painted sled, instead it's a bed
|
Yes, I see you on your window ledge
|
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
|
And, anyway, you're just gonna make people jump and roar
|
Whatcha wanna go and do that for?
|
For I know that you know that I know that you know
|
Something is tearing up your mind.
|
|
Ah, tell me, momma,
|
Tell me, momma,
|
Tell me, momma, what is it?
|
What's wrong with you this time?
|
