mean mama blues lyrics

There’s lots of mean women on almost any street
Lord There’s lots of mean women on almost any street
But I’ve got the meanest Mama that ever walked on two feet

That gal is so low down I often wonder why
Lord she’s so low down I often wonder why
That she keeps on livin’ I guess she’s to mean to die

Now you triflin’ women always say you love your man
Lord you triflin’ women always say you love your man
And when he goes out the front door the back door lets a new man in
(Ah maybe two of them)

Now there’s two things in this world I don’t understand
Lord there’s two things in this world that I don’t understand
One of thems a woman the other ones a man

I’m gonna buy me a pistol I’ll think I’ll get a 44
Gonna buy me a pistol I’ll think I’ll get a 44
And when I get through shootin’ that girl wont step no more
