Tell Me Mama - Single Version

Oh tell me mama, who was that while ago?
Oh tell me mama, who was that while ago?
Yes when I come in, who went out that back door?
Now don't come here mama, gonna start a-readin' and sayin'
You been out boogie woogin', that's something I don't understand

I want you to tell me mama, who was that while ago?
Yes when I come in, who went out that back door?
Now this is something I never seen before
A man is getting my money, always slamming my back door
I want you to tell me mama, who was that while ago?
Yes when I came in, who went out that back door?

I had to run him down, he couldn't get through
His hat in his hand and his overcoat too
Won't you tell me mama, why can't you be true?
Yes when I came in, who went out that back door?
He came by me running, smelling like a whiskey can
My hat in his hand and my overcoat too
Won't you tell me mama, who was that while ago?
Yes when I came in, who went out that back door?
