High Powered Mama - Jimmy Rodgers

Talk about blues the mean ol' blues

We all have the blues sometimes

But the meanest blues I’ve ever had

Is about that gal of mine

A marriage license and a wedding ring

To that pretty mama don’t mean a thing

When the stars step in it ain’t no use

Cause the trifling mamas got a good excuse

High powered mama

Get yourself in gear

For the way you’ve been stepping out

It won’t work here

I was a good man

And you had a good home

But you just couldn’t leave

Other daddies alone

I’m going to leave you now

And you going to miss your daddy

And miss him how

I bought you a home and give you a car

And half of the time

I don’t know where you are

When I was a brakeman

Riding on the rail

You had another daddy

In the county jail

So high powered mama

I’m going to leave you now

And you going to miss your daddy

And miss him how
