Oh Mama Don't You Know

Now, you know when I first met you, baby

I was in the lost and found

And I did promise you I'd chase away all the bullets, baby

That ever bothered you here in the town

'Cause you're a real good dough baker, baby

And you really know how to make your biscuits soft and round

Mama, don't you know?

Oh, you know I do love you, baby

And I do know you bound to love me some

Oh, you put your arms around me, baby

Like they circle 'round that sun

Please, do me, baby

You know, the "Easy Rider" is the one

Mama, now, don't you knw?

Sometimes I get lonesome, baby

Near low and I do go downtown

I stand on the street with all the lights, baby

And just take a look around

And I come back home to you, baby

With a lonesome frown

Baby, don't you know?

Please, come here, darlin', put your hand in mine

Life to have his way sometimes

And I know I have left you cryin'

I ain't no angel, baby, and there ain't no denyin'

Baby, don't you know?

Oh, please, baby

Won't you give me one more chance again?

To save my life, baby, from saddness and sin

I know it ain't easy to try and try again

Mama, don't you know?

I ain't got no money, baby

And I don't mean to cop a plea

But I will sure be doin' better, baby

If you was sleepin' next to me

Oh Lord, oh Lord, indeed

Baby, don't you know?

When I first met you, baby

I was in the lost and found

Promised I'd chase all the bullets, baby

That ever bothered you here in the town

'You a real good dough baker, baby

And you make your biscuits up so brown

Mama, don't you know?
