Black Country Woman

(page/plant)



(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
