Mama Taint Long Fo Day by Blind Willie McTell Lyrics

Wake up mamma, don't you sleep so hard
Wake up mamma, don't you sleep so hard
For it's these old blues walkin' all over your yard

I've got these blues, the reason I'm not satisfied
I've got these blues, I'm not satisfied
That's the reason why I stroll away and cry

Blues grabbed me in midnight, didn't turn me loose till day
Blues grabbed me in midnight, didn't turn me loose till day
I didn't have no mamma to drive these blues away

The big star fallin', mamma tain't long fo' day
The big star fallin', mamma tain't long fo' day
Maybe the sunshine will drive these blues away

Oh, come here quick
Come on, mamma
You know I got you
