Tell me, what have I done?
Tell me, what have I done?
Tell me, what have I done?
I'm my mama's baby child
Haven't got nobody that I can call my own
Haven't got nobody that I can call my own
I haven't got nobody that I can call my own
I'm my mama's baby child
SOLO
Some give me a nickel, some give me a dime
Some give me a nickel, some give me a dime
Some give me a nickel and some give me a dime
I'm my mama's baby child
Someday you'll feel lonesome (guitar finishes line)
Someday you'll feel lonesome, when I'm gone far away
Someday you'll feel lonesome, when I'm gone far away
I'm my mama's baby child
Knocked on the door and I heard somebody roar
Knocked on the door, I was out in the rain and snow
Knocked on the door and I had nowhere to go
I'm my mama's baby child
SOLO
Hacks and those hearses all formed one line
Hacks and those hearses all formed one line
Hacks and those hearses all formed a line
Just to bury the best buddy of mine
Tell me, what have I done?
Tell me, what have I done?
Tell me, what have I done?
I'm my mama's baby child
I'm goin' away, I ain't gon' be gone long
I'm goin' away, I ain't gon' be gone long
I'm goin away but I ain't goin' to stay
I'm my mama's baby child
Tell all, I'm bound to roam
New York, plum bound to roam
Hey, ya, I'm bound to roam
I'm my mama's angel child
