I got myself a mamma, she's always got me feelin' blue.
I got myself a mamma, she's always got me feelin' blue.
She acts just like the weather, I don't know what she's goin' to do.

Sometimes she reels and rocks me, like a ship at sea.
Sometimes she reels and she rocks me, like a ship at sea.
Then sometimes she cold as a iceberg, and still as she can be.

One night I caught her triflin', with a friend of mine called Sam.

I whipped her hard like a lion, and I come away like a doggone lamb.

Friends don't never let no woman, fix you like my gal fixed me.
Friends don't never let no woman, fix you like my gal fixed me.
She's got me crazy about her, as a doggone fool can be.

There's no other woman, need not to flag my train for a ride.
There's no other woman, needs to flag my train for a ride.
She done put that thing on me, she's flickered but I'm satisfied.
