Sweet Mama Lyrics


I was raised on the west side shanty town
I didn't get up until the sun went down
When your back's against the wall, you better get tough
An' learn real quick how to swing an' duckI was born in the suite all for the sunshine
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine
Learned more about a life on the streets than in the school well
A-Sweet Mama didn't raise no fool, that's right[Incomprehensible]Some folks cheat 'n some folks lie
But I can judge a man by the look in his eye
A-don't hand me jack, try to call it cool
I know the difference 'tween shit an' shinerI was born in the suite all for the sunshine
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine
Learned more about a life on the streets than in the school
And my Sweet Mama didn't raise no foolA-talkin' about Mama
Oh sweet MamaMama was no Angel, but she taught me right from wrong
She knew every single word, an' every note and every song
She taught me how to gamble and how to roll a dice
If it makes you feel good, do it don't think twiceI was born in the suite all for the sunshine
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine

Learned more about a life on the streets than in the school
Well my sweet Mama didn't raise no foolI was born in the suite all for the sunshine
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine
Learned more about a life on the streets than in the school
But my sweet Mama didn't raise no foolTalkin' about my sweet Mama
Mama didn't raise no fool
(Na, na, na )
Talkin' about my sweet Mama
Mama didn't raise no fool
(That's my sweet Mama )
Talkin' about my sweet Mama
Mama didn't raise no fool
Oh, sweet Mama
