My Black Mama Pt. II

I solemnly swear, Lord I raise my right hand
 That I'm gonna get me a woman you get you another man
 I solemnly swear, Lord I raise my right hand
 That I'm gonna get me a woman, babe you get you another man
 I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read?
 Oh hurry hurry, the gal you love is dead
 I got a letter this morning, how do you reckon it read?
 Oh hurry hurry, the gal you love is dead
 I grabbed my suitcase, I took off up the road
 I got there she was laying on the cooling board
 I grabbed my suitcase, I took off up the road
 Oh, when I got there she was laying on the cooling board
 Well, I walked up close I looked down in her face
 Good old girl got to lay here till judgement day
 I walked up close and I looked down in her face
 Yes, the good old girl got to lay here till judgement day
 Aw, sure now. I'm feelin' low down this evenin'
 Oh, my woman so black she stays apart of this town
 Can't nothing go when the poor girl is around
 My black mama stays apart of this town
 Oh, can't nothing go when the poor girl is around
 Oh, some people tell me the worried blues ain't bad
 It's the worst old feeling that I ever had
 Some people tell me the worried blues ain't bad
 But it's the worst old feeling, Lord I ever had
 Mmm, I fold my arms and I walked away
 That's all right mama, your trouble will come some day
 I fold my arms, Lord I walked away
 Yeah, that's all right mama, your trouble will come some day
