Gonna make you clap your hands to the beat,

You can feel it from your head to your feet

It goes from the blood to the bone

You can’t put it into words but it makes your spirit groan

Like chicken that’s fried in butter

Tastes so good makes your s-s-s-s-stutter

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

Gonna give you what you want and you need

Ain’t gotta wait if you say Mama please

Take your time, take it fast, take it slow,

Take it easy like you\'ve got nowhere to go, now

Like a song shaking deep in your soul

If the band sounds good, holler loud let ‘em know

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

Gonna make you clap your hands to the beat,

You can feel it from your head to your feet

It goes from the blood to the bone

You can’t put it into words but it makes your spirit groan

Like chicken that’s fried in butter

Tastes so good makes your s-s-s-s-stutter

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah

When Mama plays the Hambone, you can feel it in your backbone, yeah
