Cryin', now sometimes I feel, mama, like I'm going away
Sometimes I feel, mama, like your man is going away
And now if you don't like my treatment, mama, you can not let me stay
SOLO
Now, mama, if you love me, why don't you tell me the truth?
Here, ma, if you love me, why don't you tell me the truth?
'Cause I always treat you right, mama, and don't love no other one but you
SOLO
Mama, if you stay in town, baby, and I'll still will hang around
If you stay in town, mama, I'll still hang around
Because I'm going to give you supper long as you stay in this town
