High Powered Mama

High Powered Mama (Remastered) - Jimmie Rodgers

Talk about blues the mean old blues

We all have the blues sometime

But the meanest blues I've ever had is about that gal of mine

A married life and a wedding ring

To that pretty mama don't mean a thing

When they start steppin' it ain't no use

'Cause a trav'lin' mama's got a good excuse

High powered mama get yourself in gear

For the way you've been steppin' out it won't work here

I was a good man and you had a good home

But you just couldn't leave other dadies alone

I'm goin' to leave you now

And you're going to miss your daddy

And miss him how

I bought you a home and gave you a car

And half of the time

I don't know where you are

When I was a brakeman riding on the rails

You had another daddy in the county jail

So high powered mama I'm leaving you now

You're going to miss your daddy

And miss me how
