Tampa Red - Big Fat Mama

To Rate
When I woke up this morning, Lord, Lord
It was all around my head
And I woke up this morning, Lord, Lord
It was all around my head
Sad news from my home says my best gal was dead

I ain't got nobody, Lord
Teach me right from wrong
I ain't got nobody, Lord
To teach me right from wrong
And that's why I'm standing here, Lord, singing this very song

Says I'm going away baby
Crying ain't gonna make me stay
Lord, I'm going away baby
Crying ain't gonna make me stay
But you can pray to the good Lord, your daddy come home some day

And it was early one morning, Lord, Lord
I was on my way to school
And it was early one morning, Lord, Lord
I was on my way to school
Says don't forget your books son, and your daddy's brand new food

Says it's put you in no shape, baby
Mama turn your life down low
And it's put you in no shape, baby
Mama turn your life down low
You're gonna give your daddy a kiss, Lord, mama just before I go
Lord I went to the undertaker, Lord, Lord
Looked on the cooling board
And I went to the undertaker, Lord
Looked on the cooling board
And just go, my sweet woman, Lord, Lord, she's only downward go

I'm gonna sing this very slow, Lord
I ain't gonna sing no more
I'm gonna sing this very slow, Lord
I ain't gonna sing no more
Say you sing old fat man to devil and then his lovin' drop and only go
