JOHN HAMMOND
"Tell Me Mama"

Oh, tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Oh, tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I come in
Who went out that back door?

Now don't come here mama
I'm gonna start a ragin' stand
You been out boogie-woogie'n
There's somethin' I don't understand

I want you to tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I come in
Who went out that back door?

Now this is somethin'
I never seen before
A man is gettin' my money
Always slammin' my back door

I want you to tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I came in
Who went out that back door?

Oh, I had to wanna kneel down
You couldn't give the truth
His hat in his hand
And his overcoat too

I want you to tell me mama
Why can't you be true?
Yes, when I came in
Who went out that back door?

He came by me runnin'
Smellin' like a whiskey can
My hat in his hand
And my overcoat too

I want you to tell me mama
Who's that while ago?
Yes, when I came in
Who went out that back door?
