Mean Mama Blues lyrics

Well, when I come home this morning

It was still too dark to see

I could tell my baby wasn't sleeping next to me

She's gone and left me

Where to I guess I'll never know

I only know her leave

Has brought pain and misery to my soul

Well, a note was on the pillow,

She's gone without a doubt

I tried to read her writing

But I couldn't make it out

'Cause tears were falling

Too fast for me to even read

Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my misery

My friends told me she'd leave me

But I said they wasn't right

She gave no word of warning,

She'd be leaving in the night

Can't understand her, what made my baby want to go?

I didn't hear her leaving, she didn't even close the door

When she'd come home this morning,

I'd jump and shout with flee

She can't mean more to someone else

Than what she means to me, I love that woman

I got to have her all the time

I got to have her near me

To ease this misery on my mind
