Black Country Woman lyrics

Shall we roll it, Jimmy?

We're rolling on, uh -- what, one? No.

One again.

Wanna get this airplane off.

Nah, leave the jet.

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here

You didn't have to tell me that ya love me so

You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here

You didn't have to make me a total disgrace

You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here

Uh, that's alright, it's awful doggone clear

Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean

Oh, oh, baby, why you treat me mean

Aw, man, now

You didn't have to crucify me like you did

You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid

Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean

You didn't have to say you'd always be by my side

You didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushin' bride

Hey, hey, mama, why you treat me mean

But that's alright, I know your sisters too

Aw, yeah

You didn't have to tell me that ya love me so

You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go

Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you

You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace

You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face

Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you

Oh, but that's alright, I'd be the same way too

Oh, yeah-yo, no, man, no

Now, my baby, now, you didn't have to crucify me like you did

You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here

You didn't have to tell me you would be my own

You didn't have to tell me, "Baby, let me go"

Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you

Ah, that's alright, I know your sister too

Oh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah, oh

What's the matter with you, mama
