Lyrics:
I know my baby sure don't know I'm here
I know my baby sure don't know I'm here
And if she do, she sure don't feel my care
If you get you one woman, sure better get you two
If you get you one woman, you sure better get you two
Better get you twenty-four so, swear, it won't worry you
I got a little old mama, long tall mama, too
I got a little old mama, got a long tall mama, too
I ain't gonna tell my little old mama what my long tall mama can do
She may be your baby, but she call me papa, too
She may be your baby, but she call me papa, too
And she'll do for me just the same as she do for you...
