Ah, tell me mama

Ah, tell me darlin'

Now that it's time for me to go

Ah, don't you hold me down

And kill the man you love

Sweet mama what you gonna do

Ah, now darlin' what you gonna do

Mama what you gonna do for love

Ah, when that sun shines

Ah, honey

And I'm living in your love again

Ah, won't you let me know

Do I stay or do I go

Oh, yeah,

Ah, darlin', what you gonna do now

I said now mama what you gonna do

Now mama what you gonna do for love

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

When I'm gone

Ah, when I'm gone

Gone gone gone gone gone gone

When I'm gone



Darlin' so young and tender,

So quick to surrender

Everything that you don't own,

Know that you've got not

You make love like a skinned cat

Crawlin' across a highway

Tryin' to git to the other side,

Don't know why you just gotta try



Ah, when that devil

When that devil gets you honey

Oh, I want to know

That's when I'll come home and start to



Ah, sweet mama what you gonna do

Ah, sweet mama what you gonna do now

Aw Daddy what you gonna do for love



When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone, Lord

When I'm gone, gone, gone, mama, when I'm gone

When I'm gone, yeah, sweet mama,

Yes, ah, when I'm gone

Get that devil get that devil

Gonna go back home, so long,

Just want to get some sun on my shoulder

And get a bit of sand in my shoes

I love you New York City, but I see that sun shinin'

And I don't want to stay here no more

Oh, what you gonna do

Oh yeah...
