I Used To Be Your Sweet Mama - Bessie Smith[00:00:00]
Yes I'm mad and I have a right to be[00:00:11]
After what my daddy did to me[00:00:15]
I lavished all my love on him[00:00:21]
But I swear I'll never love again[00:00:26]
All you women understand what is[00:00:32]
To be in love with a two-time man[00:00:37]
The next time he calls me "Sweet mama" in his lovin' way[00:00:44]
This is what I'm going to say[00:00:49]
I used to be your sweet mama sweet papa[00:00:55]
But now I'm just as sour as can be[00:01:00]
So don't come stormin' around my way[00:01:06]
Expectin' any love from me[00:01:11]
You had your chance and proved unfaithful[00:01:17]
So now I'm gonna be real mean and hateful[00:01:23]
I used to be your sweet mama sweet papa[00:01:28]
But now I'm just as sour as can be[00:01:34]
I ain't gonna let no man worry me sick[00:01:40]
Or turn this hair o' mine grey[00:01:45]
Soon as I catch him at his two-time trick[00:01:51]
I'm gonna tell him to be on his way[00:01:55]
To the world I scream[00:02:01]
"No man can treat me mean[00:02:03]
And expect my love all the time"[00:02:07]
When he roams away[00:02:12]
He'd better stay[00:02:14]
If he comes back he'll find[00:02:17]
You had your chance and proved unfaithful[00:02:24]
So now I'm gonna be real mean and hateful[00:02:30]
I used to be your sweet mama sweet papa[00:02:35]
But now I'm just as sour as can be[00:02:41]
