Lyrics Mama and Papa Hopkins - Lightnin' Hopkins
I
wonder
why
my
mama
don't
love
my
papa
no
more?
I
guess
my
daddy
been
doing
somethin
wrong.
I
wonder
why
my
mama
don't
love
my
papa
no
more?
Yeah,
my
daddy
must
been
doing
somethin
wrong.
You
know,
I
asked
my
mama,
I
said
"Mama,
what's
the
trouble?"
She
looked
at
me
and
said,
"Boy,
you'd
better
go
head
on."
I
looked
at
my
mama,
she
looked
at
me
unconcerned,
I
told
my
mama,
"Don't
forget
mama,
you
never
gets
too
old
to
learn."
That
time
I
was
talkin
my
daddy,
walked
in
the
door,
Said,
"Let
that
boy
alone,
cause
he's
tellin
you
something
right,
don't
ya
know?"
Mmmmm,
you
never
gets
too
old
to
learn.
Still,
I
say
my
papa
musta
done
somethin
wrong,
Oh
yeah,
to
cause
my
mama's
heart
to
ruin.
Well,
you
take
two
old
people
that's
been
together
a
long
time,
They
don't
want
childrens
or
nobody
else
messin
round
their
bidness.
See,
that's
what
I'm
talkin
bout?
But,
the
reason
why
I
was
talkin,
cause
my
mama,
I
didn't
want
her
to
feel
too
bad
over
what
papa
do,
And
I
don't
want
papa
to
feel
too
bad
over
what
mama
do.
And
I
hada
tell
em.
You
two
people
is
livin,
you
been
together
for
a
great,
long
time.
You
two
people's
been
livin,
yeah
you
been
together
for
a
great,
long
time.
Yeah,
you
know
you
had
four
boys
and
one
girl
to
raise,
Now,
ya
better
get
bad
things
off
your
mind.
Ya'll
just
get
together
and
try
to
get
along,
Cause,
you
ain't
got
many
more
days
here.
You
know,
then
papa
told
mama,
"Come,
sit
down
on
my
knee."
Said,
"Little
things
I've
did,
will
you
please,
forgive
me?"
And
it
made
me
feel
so
good,
man,
I
went
truckin
on
down
the
line.
You
know
I
wa't'nt
gonna
leave
til
I
get
them
old
folks
together,
Whoa
yeah,
and
get
bad
things
of
