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 living I guess she’s to mean to die

Now you trifling women always say you love your man

Lord you trifling women always say you love your man

And when he goes out the front door the back door lets a new man in

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 them is 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 shooting that girl won’t step no more
