Blind Willie McTell

Kind Mama

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

She ain't got nobody to hold her hand

Way down yonder on Cripple Creek

Hemp don't grow but sixteen feet

Would go to bed but it ain't no use

They pile up on the bed like chickens on a roost

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

And she ain't got nobody to hold her hand

The rooster chew tobacco and the hen dip snuff

Said he can't

Shimmy

But he

Struts his stuff

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

And she ain't got nobody to hold her hand

See that fella with that derby

On

Look good to me just as sure as you're born

I'll tell you the truth and it's a natural fact

Shoulda been a rule 'gainst being that black

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

And she ain't got nobody to hold her hand

See that fellow that's standing right there

He don't live here but he's somewhere

Little patch of hair right around his mouth

Like he swallowed a mule and left his tail hanging out

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

She ain't got nobody to hold her hand

Wake up in the morning at a half past three

Thanks pretty mama done put out what I need

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

And she ain't got nobody to hold her hand

Soon in the morning at half past four

Hot shot

Rider

Rappin' at her door

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

She ain't got nobody in town to hold her hand

Went to the door and the door was locked

Think that baby tryin' to

Eagle rock

She's a real kind mama looking for another man

And she ain't got nobody here to hold her hand
