Lyrics

MAMA 'n' DADDY BLUES
There's gonna be a whole lotta fightin' tonight.
Mama found out where Daddy was last night.
She say "That no count woman, well she can have his poor soul."
But not until she does him up right.
Mama gonna do Daddy up right.

Maybe I should tell Daddy bout that guy sneakin' out the back door.
When she kept Daddy waitin' on the front porch.
With the excuse, she been moppin' the floor.
While that no count guy, he been sneakin out the back door.
Now maybe I should tell Daddy, but see, he don't do Mama so right.
Uhmm-hmm He don't do Mama so right.

Now Mama she caught Daddy in the closet at a party one night.
He be kissin' that no count woman, and doin' it right.
But Daddy said, "Now Baby, what else could I do?
She felt so good in the dark, I swear I thought she was you."
He said, "She felt so good in the dark, I swear I thought she was you."

Now maybe I should tell Daddy, bout that guy sneakin out the back door.
When she kept Daddy waitin, on the front porch.
"You can't come in Daddy," She told him that night.
"Cause I been moppin the floor."
But that no count -- man -- he just sneakin out the back door.
Now maybe I should tell Daddy, but see,
He don't treat Mama so right.
