My Black Mama Lyrics
My Black Mama - Son House
Written by：son house
Hey black mama what's the
Matter with you
Said it
Ain't satisfaction don't care
What I do
Hey mama
What's the
Matter with you
Said it ain't satisfaction baby don't care
What I do
You take a brown skinned woman will make a rabbit
Move to town to a
Jet black woman will make a mule kick
Stable down
Oh a brown skinned woman will make a
Rabbit
Move to town
Oh but a jet black woman will make a mule
Kick his stable down
Ain't no heaven ain't no
Burnin' hell
Where I'm goin' when I die can't
Nobody tell oh it ain't no heaven now
Ain't no burnin' hell
Oh where I'm goin' when I die can't nobody tell
Well my black mama's face shines
Like the sun
Oh lipstick and powder sure won't
Help her none
My black mama's face
Shines like the sun
Oh lipstick and powder well that sure won't help her none
Well
You see my milk cow tell her
Hurry home
I ain't had no milk since
That cow been gone
If you see my milk cow
Tell her hurry home
Yeah I ain't had no milk since that cow been gone
Well I'm going to the racetrack to see
My pony run
He ain't the best in the world
But he's a runnin' son of a gun
I'm going to the racetrack
To see my pony run
He ain't the best in the world but
He's a runnin' son of a gun
Oh Lord have mercy on my
Wicked soul
Wouldn't mistreat you baby for my
Weight in gold
Oh Lord have mercy on my
Wicked soul
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
