Rough and Tumble Blues
I'm going to the Western Union, type the news all down the line, (2)
'Cause Mama's on the warpath this mornin', and I don't mind dyin'
My man's so good lookin' and his clothes fit him so cute, (2)
I cut up his box-back and bought him a struttin' suit
Then every little devil got on my man's road, (2)
Mama Tree Top Tall and Miss Shorty Toad
Tree Top Tall give a stomp as I stepped in the door, (2)
Miss Shorty Toad and my man was shimmying down to the floor
I got rough and killed three women 'fore police got the news, (2)
'Cause Mama's on the warpath with the rough and tumblin' blues
'Cause Mama's on the warpath this mornin', and I don't mind dyin'
My man's so good lookin' and his clothes fit him so cute, (2)
I cut up his box-back and bought him a struttin' suit
Then every little devil got on my man's road, (2)
Mama Tree Top Tall and Miss Shorty Toad
Tree Top Tall give a stomp as I stepped in the door, (2)
Miss Shorty Toad and my man was shimmying down to the floor
I got rough and killed three women 'fore police got the news, (2)
'Cause Mama's on the warpath with the rough and tumblin' blues
