Mama's Got the Blues

Lyrics

Some people say that the weary blues ain't bad
 Some people say the weary blues ain't bad
 But it's the worst old feeling that I've ever had
 Woke up this morning with a jinx around my bed
 I woke up this morning with a jinx around my bed
 I didn't have no daddy to hold my aching head
 ♪
 Brown skin's deceitful, but a yellow man is worse
 Brown skin's deceitful, but a yellow man is worse
 I'm gonna get myself a black man and play safety first
 I got a man in Atlanta, two in Alabama, three in Chattanooga
 Four in Cincinnati, five in Mississippi, six in Memphis, Tennessee
 If you don't like my peaches, please let my orchard be
