Black Country Woman Lyrics

[Studio Chatter:] "Shall we roll it, Jimmy?" 

 ("We're rolling on, what, one?") 

 ("No, one again?") 

 (- Airplane heard flying overhead - "Got to get this airplane off.") 

 ("Naw, leave it, yeah.") 

 

 Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here [X2]

 You didn't have to tell me that you love me so 

 You didn't have to love me, mama, let me go 

 Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here 

 You didn't have to make me a total disgrace 

 You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face 

 Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here 

 That's alright, it's awful dog-gone clear. 

 

 Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean [X2]

 You didn't have to crucify me like you did 

 You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid 

 Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean 

 You didn't have say you'd always be by my side 

 Y' didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushin' bride 

 Hey, hey, mama, why you treat me mean 

 But that's alright, I know your sisters, too 

 

 You didn't have to tell me that you love me so 

 You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go 

 Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you 

 You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace 

 You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face 

 Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you 

 But that's alright, I'd be the same way, too 

 

 You didn't have to crucify me like you did 

 You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid 

 Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here 

 You didn't have to tell me you would be my own 

 You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go 

 Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you 

 That's alright, I know your sister, too. 

 What's the matter with you, mama
