Walking down the levee with my head hangin' low

Looking for my mama but she ain't here no more

Won't do nothing but walk the road

My breakfast on the table and my coffee's getting cold

And mama's in the kitchen getting a sweet papa talk

 Sometimes I think my baby's too good to die

Sometimes I think she should be buried alive

 Look at you mama, see what you got it done

You got my money now you broke and run

You made me get mad and you made me get sad

Going get tougher than you have ever had
