Blues for Mama

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?
