Lyrics Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson

So Long Mama

What do you want from me now, mama?

I picked you up when you were down

All of the time I thought you loved me

You were runnin' all around

You got the wrong information

'Cause it's a bad situation

So you just walk yourself right out that door, mama

I don't want you anymore

If I said that you've grown cold lately

That'd be an understated fact

I'd get more lovin' from an iceberg baby

So before you melt, get off my back

There's gonna be a slight correction

You'd better find a new connection

Get out your spring-a-later shoes

Start payin' your own dues

I don't want you anymore

You strut around town with your nose up in the air

I'll bet you've never seen the ground

You'd better learn how to breath through your ears, mama

'Cause if it rained right now you'd drown

To avoid a misinterpretation

It's time you took a long vacation forever

You just walk yourself right out that door, mama

I don't want you anymore

What do you want from me now, mama?

I picked you up when you were down

All of the time I thought you loved me

You were runnin' all around

You got the wrong information

'Cause it's a bad situation

So you just walk yourself right out that door, mama

I don't want you anymore

So long, mama
