Mean Mama Blues

Mean Mama Blues - Ernest Tubb

Written by：Ernest Tubb

There's lots of mean women

On almost any street

Lord There's lots of mean women

On almost any street

But I've got the meanest Mama

That ever walked on two feet

That gal is so low down

I often wonder why

Lord she's so low down

I often wonder why

That she keeps on livin'

I guess she's to mean to die

Now you triflin' women always say

You love your man

Lord you triflin' women always say

You love your man

And when he goes out the front door

The back door lets a new man in

(Ah maybe two of them)

Now there's two things in this world

I don't understand

Lord there's two things in this world

That I don't understand

One of them's a woman

The other one's a man

I'm gonna buy me a pistol

I'll think I'll get a 44

Gonna buy me a pistol

I'll think I'll get a 44

And when I get through shootin'

That girl won't step no more
