Big Mama Thornton - The Way It Is

Little Red Rooster

Okay, what do you say?
Everybody's mama, Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton!
Big Mama Thornton!

Ladies and gentlemen
Ladies, gentlemen
As I always said, I revere alcohol
Right now, ladies and gentlemen, as I always say
Men's and all, or not

Early one morning, heard a rooster crow for day
It was early one morning, head a rooster crow for day
I looked down on my window, saw my baby run away

I said, Lord stop him, I ain't gettin' drunk no more
I said, Lord just stop him, I ain't gettin' drunk no more
Said come on back baby
Come back honey, please don't go

Saw my baby leave, his mother had him by the hand
Saw my baby leave, mother had him by the hand
But after his prowlin', I called him a no-good man

But he heard me call him, he looked back and waved his hand
But he heard me call him, he looked back and waved his hand
Gotta get another woman, and Lord I got another man
