Mean Mama Blues Lyrics by Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

Kerouac’s Last Dream

0

Well, there's lots of mean women on almost any street
Lots of mean women on almost any street
But I've got the meanest mama ever walked on two feet

That gal is so low-down I often wonder why
That gal is so low-down I often wonder why
She keeps on livin'—guess she's to mean to die

Well, if I was a steam ship sailin' on a deep blue sea
If I was a steam ship sailin' on a deep blue sea
Well, I'd drown all you women if you tried to ride on me

Well, there's lots of mean women on almost any street
Yeah, there's lots of mean women on almost any street
But I've got the meanest mama ever walked on two feet
