Mean Mama Blues

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 thems a woman the other ones 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 wont step no more
