Big Fat Mama Blues Lyrics by Tommy Johnson

(1928-30) Complete Recordings In Chronological Order

1929

[Verse 1]
Crying, big fat mama, meat shaking on her bones
Time the meat shake, it's a skinny woman lose a home

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm going away, mama, won't be back 'til fall
Won't be back till fall, mmm
Going away, mama, won't be back 'til fall
Big fat mama with the meat shake on her bones

[Verse 3]
Well, aaah, mmm, got to murmur, got to murmur low, mmm
No need to holler, I got to murmur low
Big fat mama, Lord, meat shake on her bones

[Verse 4]
Every time the meat shake, fat mouth lose a home, fat mouth lose a home, mmm
Time the meat shakes, it's a fat mouth lose a home
Time the meat shakes, it's a fat mouth lose a home

[Verse 5]
Mmm, what's the matter rider?
Where did you stay last, where did you stay last night, mmm?
What's the matter rider?
Where did you stay last night?
Hair all down, baby, and you won't treat me right
