Blues For Mama - Live
Yeah
Hey lordy mama
I heard you wasn't feelin' good
Sure they spreadin' dirty rumours
All around the neighborhood
They say you mean and evil
Don't know what to do
And that's the reason that he's gone
And left you black and blue
Hey lordy mama
Hey-yeah what you gonna do? What you gonna do?
They say he's left you all alone
To weather this old storm
And he's got another woman now
Hangin' on his arm
That fool's tellin' everybody
He's sick and tired of you
Hey lordy, lordy mama
What you gonna do?
Hey, yeah
He sure ain't ready for that
They say you love to fuss and fight
And bring a good man down
And you don't know how to treat him
When he takes you on the town
They say you ain't behind him
And just don't understand
Think that you're the woman
But you're actin' like a man
Hey gal
Get your nerves together, girl
And set the record straight
Let the whole world round world know it wasn't you
That caused his bitter fate
All these years you loved him
And he knows it's true
'Cause what you're wantin' for your man
Is what he's wantin' too
When you love a man enough
You're bound to disagree
'Cause ain't nobody perfect
'Cause ain't nobody free
Hey lordy mama
Tell me what you gonna do now?
Hey lordy mama
I heard you wasn't feelin' good
Sure they spreadin' dirty rumours
All around the neighborhood
They say you mean and evil
Don't know what to do
And that's the reason that he's gone
And left you black and blue
Hey lordy mama
Hey-yeah what you gonna do? What you gonna do?
They say he's left you all alone
To weather this old storm
And he's got another woman now
Hangin' on his arm
That fool's tellin' everybody
He's sick and tired of you
Hey lordy, lordy mama
What you gonna do?
Hey, yeah
He sure ain't ready for that
They say you love to fuss and fight
And bring a good man down
And you don't know how to treat him
When he takes you on the town
They say you ain't behind him
And just don't understand
Think that you're the woman
But you're actin' like a man
Hey gal
Get your nerves together, girl
And set the record straight
Let the whole world round world know it wasn't you
That caused his bitter fate
All these years you loved him
And he knows it's true
'Cause what you're wantin' for your man
Is what he's wantin' too
When you love a man enough
You're bound to disagree
'Cause ain't nobody perfect
'Cause ain't nobody free
Hey lordy mama
Tell me what you gonna do now?
