My Mama left me, a long time ago
Why she had to leave me
I just don't know

Oh Pretty baby, why you treatin' me so bad
You're the meanest evil woman
That I ever had

Oh why Mama, why do treat me so
If you really don't love me
Why don't you let me go

But when she loves me
She makes me feel fine
But when she loves me
I wanna make her mine
When she loves me
I wanna make her mine
Because she makes me
She makes me feel so fine

My Mama left me, a long time ago
Why she had to leave me
I just don't know
Why she had to leave me¦
