Lyrics Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington

Mellow Mama Blues

Well, I know my days are numbered

And I know I'm livin' fast

I've got a mellow man who loves me

And mellow whiskey in my glass

So I'll just stick around

And wait for the time to pass

Yes, I know I'm not good lookin'

But I'll put you in your place

No, I know I'm not good lookin'

But I'll put you in your place

You can't tell me what I'm likin'

By just lookin' at my face

I've got a secret way of lovin'

And I own the copyright

I'm gonna put it on the market

And do all my business right

I know my man is crooked

And I know my whiskey's straight

And I know that man can send me

For he feels just like a snake

Yes, I'll thrill you, baby

I can really satisfy your soul

Yes, I'll really thrill you, baby

I can satisfy your soul

I've got a secret way of lovin'

And it never has been told
