Tell Me, Momma

Ol' black Bascom, don't break no mirrors Cold black water dog, make no tears You say you love me with what may be love Don't you remember makin' baby love? Got your steam drill built and you're lookin' for some kid To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did But I know that you know that I know that you show Something is tearing up your mind Tell me, momma Tell me, momma Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? Get it, John, fool's gold in your teeth and cemetery hips Hang outside of your graveyard lips Yes everybody's wondering when your friendship's gonna end, but Come on, baby, I'm your friend And I know that you know that I know that you show Something is tearing up your mind Tell me, momma Tell me, momma Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? Oh, it's sure pleasing that your face is red Anything he can give you, he's almost dead Everybody can see you on your window ledge How long's it going to take you to get off the edge? You're just gonna make everybody jump and roar Now whatcha want to go and do that for? I know that you know that I know that you snow Something is tearing up your mind Tell me, momma Tell me, momma Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time?
