Mamie

Early one morning, mama
Just 'bout the break of day
I said early one morning, mama
Just 'bout the break of day
Come along a dirty man
Tried to steal little old Mamie
You know that cobblestone was my pillow
Cold sheet was my bed
Yeah, cold sheet was my bed

Say you know what happened to Mamie
Just to hold my worried head
There's so many mornings I woke up, baby
Pillaring in red bed chest
I said hey, hey
Pillaring in red bed chest
Said I'd give a thousand dollars
Just to find out where my baby is

Yes, I think I hear Mamie calling
Where Mamie?
Where Mamie?
Mamie
Where Mamie?
Mamie
Please come back to me, mama
I'm blue, Lord, as I can be

Said I believe I heard my
Woman call my name

Yes, I believe I heard
My woman call my name
She didn't call so loud, baby
But she called so nice and plain

Call it now, baby
Yeah, call it, honey
