Shake Shake Mama

I get the blues for you baby when I look up at the sun I get the blues for you baby when I look up at the sun Come back here, we can have some real fun Well it's early in the evening and everything is still Well it's early in the evening and everything is still One more time, I'm walking up around the hill Shake shake Mama like a ship going out to sea Shake shake Mama like a ship going out to sea You took all my money and you gave it to Richard Lee Down by the river judge Simpson's walking around Down by the river judge Simpson's walking around Nothing shocks me more than that old clown Some of you women, you really know your stuff Some of you women, you really know your stuff But your clothes are all torn and your language is a little too rough Shake shake Mama, shake until the break of day Shake shake Mama, shake until the break of day I'm right here baby, I'm not that far away I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too It's Friday morning going to Franklin Avenue Shake shake mama, raise your voice and pray Shake shake mama, raise your voice and pray If you're goin' on home, better go the shortest way
