Coffee for Mama (Rerecorded) Songtext
von Lightnin’ Hopkins

Mama got mad at Papa
Everybody were whinin′ when Papa was gone
Mama got mad at Papa
When everybody whinin' when Papa was gone
They wondered why Mama got mad
′Cause Papa didn't bring no coffee home


Mama said, "Papa
Oh, man, you know you been doin' me wrong
Oh, man, I′ve got to tell you
You know you been doin′ me wrong
You been leavin' and spendin′ all your money
Then you didn't bring no coffee home"

Wait a while, boy
Alright
That′s alright

I'm goin′ tomorrow
See can I bring some coffee home
I'm goin' tomorrow
See can I bring my mama some coffee home
I′m gettin′ tired of hearin' her tell Papa
"You know you′re doin' me wrong"
Alright

Play it, boy
