Lyrics
Well, they call me Big Mama
Cause I weigh 300 pounds
Call me Big Mama
Cause I weigh 300 pounds
I can rock and I can roll
Them I can really go to town
Satisfy you this morning
If you take me home with you
Satisfy you this morning
If you take me home with you
You'll never be blue
'Cause I know just what to do
I can rock, baby, I can roll
I can rock, baby, I can roll
I can rock and I can roll
Them I can really go to town
Ah, go to town
And late, daddy
Big Mama's got to go
Big bad lady just satisfied your soul
They call me Big Mama
Cause I weigh 300 pounds
I can rock and I can roll
Them I can really go to town
When you see me coming
I should in the high
When you see me badly, baby
Break down and cry
Cause they call me Big Mama
Weigh 300 pounds
I can rock and I can roll
Them I can really go to town
Writer(s): Don Robey, Willie Mae Thornton
