Well, she's got eyes like crystal water
Lips like cherry wine
A body like fine brandy and a soul like turpentine
Oh, mama, you treat your daddy so damn mean
When I ask for water she brings me gasoline
She brings me gasoline
I say, "Watch out now, mama
Don't you treat big David bad
You don't watch your step
You're bound to make big David mad"
I said, "Mama, you treat your daddy so damn mean"
Oh, when I ask for water she brings me gasoline
She brings me gasoline (alright)
♪
Oh, won't you tell me now, sweet mama
How can you stand to see me cry?
She said, "Now look here, papa
I could stand to see you die"
I said "Mama, you treat your daddy so damn mean"
Oh, when I ask for water she brings me gasoline
She brings me gasoline
You know my woman, she's so doggone evil
She's evil all the time
She wants you to kill me just so you'll have me on your mind
I said, "Mama, you treat your daddy so damn mean"
Oh, when I ask for water she brings me gasoline
