I feel bluer this morning than I ever felt before I feel bluer this morning than I ever felt before I'm changin' friends and men and I won't be blue no more Talkin' 'bout changin' men, mama, You been singin' that stuff all over town Talkin' 'bout changin' men, mama, You been singin' that stuff all over town But I'm liable to take my '45 mama, and turn you upside down I know you 'buked and dogged me baby with your '45 I know you 'buked and dogged me baby with your '45 And I couldn't do nothin' but wring my hands and cry Mama, when I talk to you, God above know I don't mean no harm When I talk to you, mama, God above know I don't mean no harm But it's just because I love you and I'm tryin' to teach you right from wrong Though you try to be mean baby and use me as a child Though you try to be mean baby and use me as a child But it's goin' to hurt you to your heart when I leave you for a while Mama, ain't no need to leavin' me, 'Cause your gonna be mistreated by someone else Ain't no need to leavin' me, 'Cause your gonna be mistreated by someone else And rather than to see someone else mistreat You, I'd ruther keep you and mistreat you myself
