Hot Mama Blues

looky here buddy, you better not doze
when you're with a hot mama better stay on your toes
she might tell you she's pure and shy
but when you turn your back she's with another guy

I gotta pay my dues, I'm drinking booze
just tryin' to loose the hot mama blues

well, she told me last night she'd surely call
but while I stayed in she's out having a ball
I love that woman but I don't know why
she laughed in my face and she spit in my eye

I gotta pay my dues, I'm drinking booze
just tryin' to loose the hot mama blues

well, I feel like I spent a long time in hell
and you're making me sing like Willie McTell
one of these mornings and it won't be long
you're gonna reach for me and I'll be gone

I gotta pay my dues, I'm drinking booze
just tryin' to loose the hot mama blues

looky here woman, don't treat me this way
or my old 44's gonna have it's say
gonna go up town and look around
don't need a woman that treats me like a clown

I gotta pay my dues, I'm drinking booze
just tryin' to loose the hot mama blues
I gotta pay my dues, I'm drinking booze
just tryin' to loose the hot mama blues
