Lonnie Johnson - Unkind Mama (1927) lyrics

rate me

The days are dark and the sun refused to shine.

The days are dark and the sun refused to shine.

And it’s all because my little mama ’s so unkind.

Unkind mama come right in with the lows.

Unkind mama come right in with the lows.

Because I love my baby better that I did before.

I know some pretty mamas they have all got a round, sound mind.

I know some pretty mamas they have all got a round, sound mind.

I have got one pretty mama but she is so unkind.

Got six sweet women sleepin’ cold, cold in the ground.

Got six sweet women sleepin’ cold, cold in the ground.

It’s all because I wouldn’t turn my mama down.
