Now it was early one morning mama : I was on my way to
school
Lord that's when I got the notion : to break my mama's
rule
Oh the blues : falling like showers of rain
I tell you once in a while moment : think I hear my baby
call my name
Lord I cried last night mama : then I cried the whole
night long
Going to do right mama : then I won't have to cry no more
Lord I don't feel welcome : pretty mama no place I go
Because the little woman I love mama : has a‑drove me
from her door
