From the recording Mama Came to Sing
Lyrics
MAMA CAME TO SING
You know I ain’t gonna talk religion or politics or sin
Ain’t gonna talk about the hollow shape this world is in
I just wanna hear the music and feel it in my bones
Get down to where it’s them and me and sweaty microphone
I didn’t come to fuss and fight or drink a bottle down
I don’t plan to fall in love tonight, I don’t wanna paint the town
So dim the lights and free your mind and let the phone just ring
Grab any partner you can find cause your Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
I don’t need no daddy, I ain’t looking for no ring
I just came to sing
Now I’m a very busy woman and I haven’t got the time
To wait around while you relax and fidget and unwind
So leave your baggage at the door and order up a brew
Cause Mama’s got an urge tonight to lay it down for you
I didn’t come to fuss and fight or drink a bottle down
I don’t plan to fall in love tonight, I don’t wanna paint the town
So dim the lights and free your mind and let the phone just ring
Grab any partner you can find cause your Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
I don’t need no daddy, I ain’t looking for no ring
I just came to sing
Oh, Mama came to sing
Oh, no, Mama came to sing
Oh, no, Mama came to sing…go!
So dim the lights and free your mind and let the phone just ring
Grab any partner you can find cause your Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
I don’t need no daddy, I ain’t looking for no ring
I just came to sing
Mama came to sing
Mama came to sing
I don’t need no daddy, I ain’t looking for no ring
I just came to sing
I don’t need no daddy, I ain’t looking for no ring
I said I came to sing . . . Mama came to sing
