Mommas Blues by The Smubbs Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1969

[Intro]
Ready? Rolling

[Verse 1]
Momma's been spreading the news
She's got everyone singing the blues
Papa's been hitting the booze
It's a shame that's the game that he choose

[Verse 2]
Yes, and mamma don't like it
She says she can't take it no more
I can't take anymore (Oh mama!)
Well no one can fight it
She'll back you right up to the door (Yes!)

[Verse 3]
Now now now, make no mistake if you choose
You'll be living your life for the booze (Mean it!)
I thought I should tell you the news
It's not right, caught a flight, for the boozе (Oh I'm gonna fly, boy!)
[Chorus]
Now you wake up at night
You see faces come in your door
I swеar it's so frightening
You just couldn't take anymore

[Refrain]
Now now now, mama stays up late at night
Hoping everything will work out alright
Yes and daddy's got nothing to lose
All he knows is he goes for the booze (Go daddy! Down to the vineyard)

[Chorus]
You wake up at night
You see faces come in your door
I swear it's so frightening
You just couldn't take anymore

[Refrain]
Now now now, mama stays up late at night
Hoping everything will work out alright
Daddy's got nothing to lose
All he knows is he goes for the booze

[Outro]
All he knows is he goes for the booze
All he knows is he goes for the booze
Oh you go daddy!
