Well, my mama done told me to leave you girls alone

Mmh, my mama done told me to leave you girls alone

A-but my head was so high, I had to find out on my own

Well, she said a woman, oh, she said, "A woman

Uh, is the stickiest thing alive"

"She's gonna fill your heart with gladness

And gonna spread your head with jive"

"She's gonna treat you sweet and gentle

And gonna stick right by your side

She's gonna always talk so nicely

Until you take her for your bride"

Mama done told me, "Leave them little girls alone"

A-but my head was so high, I had to find out on my, my, my own

Well, shе said, "Delilah betrayed Samson

And was thе cause of him being blind"

She said that "Adam never touched the apple

Until Eve had changed his mind"

"Uh, Cleopatra betrayed Caesar

A-when she fed him her jive and lime"

"Well, but I don't want no woman

Mistreatin' no son of mine"

Mama done told me, "Leave the little girls alone"

Hey, but my head was so high, I had to find out on my, my, my own

Oh, oh-de-lo, oh-de-lo, de-lo-oh-de-lo (my mama)
