Oh Mama Mama

(album: Live From Deep In The Heart Of Texas - 1974)

Oh mama mama, how come you passed me by last night?
Oh mama mama, how come you passed me by last night?
I left my back door open, front door locked up tight

Well, you know I love you, baby, and here's the reason why
It ain't the way you treat me, it's the way you satisfy
Oh mama mama, you're just like 18 carat gold
You're the cream in my coffee, you're the sugar in my bowl

Oh mama mama, can I follow you home tonight?
Oh mama mama, can I follow you home tonight?
When I get past your back door, swear I'll treat you right

Well, you don't have to say you love me or say that you'll be mine
Just fix me one more drink and love me one more time
Oh mama mama, you're just like 18 carat gold
You're the honey on my biscuit, you're the butter on my roll

Tell me, tell me, mama, what's on your troubled mind?
Tell me, tell me, mama, what's on your troubled mind?
Pour me another drink of gin and I'll have another glass of wine

Well, tell me, tell me, mama, are you having any fun?
Tell me, tell me, mama, are you having any fun?
Who's that knocking on my back door, better grab my things and run
It was only the milkman, let's finish up what we begun
