Mama Don't Allow

Well now, juke down Daddy, let your Mama see
I wanna see that old business, it don’t worry me
Now Mama don’t allow, Mama don’t allow,
No foolin; round all night long
Well, you may call me crazy,
But that woman done done me wrong

When I left my baby in the middle of the road
She was cryin’ “Oh sweet jelly roll”
And now, I Ieft my baby in the middle of the tracks
Say, “come home Mama and now go and take me back”

Now I left my baby, left my baby, left my baby
Left my baby on the middle of the road
Well, she was cryin’ “Oh please don’t go”

Oh that Jack of Diamonds told the Queen of Spades
Be with me or be on your cheatin’ ways
I’ve gambled in England, I’ve gambled down in Spain
I’m going back to the West to play my last game

Oh now, Mama don’t allow foolin’ around,
Foolin’ around all night longnow

Well you may call me crazy, but that woman done done me
Woman done done me wrong


Well, I’m going away to that other shore
I’m goin’ away where I won’t get well no more
Now, England is my city and I’m beggin’ you to go
But if I don’t see you in the mornin’, I ain’t comin’ back no more

Now tell me Mama, tell me Mama, tell me Mama
Will you come and go along with me
Well, if you don’t go Baby, don’t you hinder me
