Bobbie Gentry - Patchwork

Mean Stepmama Blues

Oh, stepmama, what do make you so mean?
Mmm stepmama, what do make you so mean?
Why, you're the meanest, spiteful woman
This baby girl has ever seen

Mm-mm stepmama, interceptin' U.S. mail
Caught you stepmama, interceptin' U.S. mail
And all the time you're rockin' your own boy-child
You're singin' twilight on the trail, happy trails

Mm-mm-hmm, whup on out that leather strap
Mean stepmama, polish up your leather strap
And beat your poor stepchild senseless
Before you take your beauty nap

Mmm stepmama, the last laugh's gonna be on you
Oh, oh stepmama, the last laugh's gonna be on you
'Cause I seen, I seen the Polaroid picture
Wrote a song called "Mean Stepmama Blue"

Mm-mm-mm
