Lyrics:

Cryin', now is the time, mama, for you to change your mind
Cryin', now is the time, mama, for you to change your mind
You give me bad-luck deal, mama, you trouble me all the time

Now, it's oh, mama, listen, if you'll be good
Hey, oh, mama, listen, if you'll be good
Do everything in this world, mama, that a man ever could

Spoken: Don't be too rough with it, Batts. Be easy like you used to. Ah, it's so easy!

Sometime I think I will, and again I think I won't
Sometime I think I will, and again I think I won't
Sometime I think I like my good gal, and again I think I don't

Spoken: Ah, easy now!

Now, listen at me, mama, mama, 'f you'll only be kind
Uh, I'm sayin', listen at me, mama, mama, if you'll only be kind
I do everything, mama, to try to satisfy your mind
