Sugar Mama

Sugar mama, sugar mama, sugar mama please come back to me

Sugar mama, sugar mama, sugar mama please come back to me

Bring me my granulated sugar1, sugar mama, sugar mama

ease my misery

You've got this new grade of sugar, sugar mama, an you

done made me love it too

You've got this new grade of sugar, sugar mama, an you

done made me love it too

You've got this granulated sugar, sugar mama, ain't

nobody else got, but you

They been braggin' 'bout your sugar, sugar mama, been

braggin' all over town

They been braggin' 'bout your sugar, sugar mama, braggin'

all over town

Now, the bootleggers2 want you to sell 'em enough to make

whiskey,

but you won't sell 'em about four or five pounds

I like my coffee sweet in the mornin', you know, an I'm

crazy 'bout my tea at night

I like my coffee sweet in the mornin', you know, an I'm

crazy 'bout my tea at night

Don't get my sugar three times a day, oh, Lord, then I

don't feel right
