Additional Lyrics

 

2. Papa’s been teasin’ mama ‘cause she say, “I ain’t mad with you.”
Papa’s been teasin’ mama ‘cause she say, “I ain’t mad with you.”
She said, “Everything’s alright, don’t make no difference what you do.”

Spoken: You know papa got good with mama somehow.

 

Bridge: And I was crying for bread, and these are the words I said.
Babe, I was crying for bread, and these are the words I said.

 

3. It was early one evenin’, but papa come home late at night.
It was early one evenin’, but papa come home late at night.
That’s when mama was mad, and her and papa began to fight.”
