Mean Mama Blues Lyrics


Theres lots of mean women on almost any street
Lord Theres lots of mean women on almost any street
But Ive got the meanest Mama that ever walked on two feetThat gal is so low down I often wonder why
Lord shes so low down I often wonder why
That she keeps on livin I guess shes to mean to dieNow you triflin women always say you love your man
Lord you triflin women always say you love your man
And when he goes out the front door the back door lets a new man in
(Ah maybe two of them)Now theres two things in this world I dont understand
Lord theres two things in this world that I dont understand
One of thems a woman the other ones a manIm gonna buy me a pistol Ill think Ill get a 44
Gonna buy me a pistol Ill think Ill get a 44
And when I get through shootin that girl wont step no more

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

One of the last true links to the great folk traditions of this country, with over 40 albums under his belt, Ramblin' Jack Elliott is considered one of the country's legendary foundations of folk music. Long before every kid in America wanted to play guitar — before Elvis, Dylan, the Beatles or Led Zeppelin — Ramblin' Jack had picked it up and was passing it along. From Johnny Cash to Tom Waits, Beck to Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder to Bruce Springsteen, the Grateful Dead to The Rolling Stones, they all pay homage to Ramblin' Jack Elliott.
