Lady (John Peel Session)

Mama, don't you worry
'Bout the little time that we have
Baby, I ain't in a hurry
To make a good thing last
Hey, my brother, stop telling me
About where I'm at
And I'm supposed to be
So rap on, rap on

Maybe I better move on
Down to try and cross her path
Maybe she found another cat
And that ain't where it's at
God, won't you tell me what I can say
To bring that lady back to stay?

Lady's a-bringin' on home her love after while
She ain't gonna be shy, oh

Papa, I'm a-cryin'
What more can I do?
Mama, I ain't lyin'
If I lose her I am through
Hey, my son, you've got to get it together
A cable, a gram, or a word or a letter
Rap on, rap on

Mama, is that the mailman?
What's that cable say?
Sonny, she's a-comin'
Comin' home to stay
Hey, my brother, gonna shout about it
Hey, my mama gonna

Lady's a-bringin' on home her love after while
She ain't gonna be shy, oh
