Ax Sweet Mama lyrics

(Sleepy John Estes)



Well, I ax sweet mama, let me be her kid

She said "I might but I`d like to keep it hid"

Well, she looked at me, she began to smile

She says "I thought I might use you for my man awhile

But just don`t let my husband catch you there

I say, just don`t let my husband catch you there"



Well, I went upstairs to pack my leavin` trunk

I never saw no whiskey

The blues made me sloppy drunk

I ain`t never saw no whiskey

The blues made me sloppy drunk

Well, I ain`t saw no whiskey

The blues made me sloppy drunk



Well, some said it was beans, some said it was greens

But it`s slow consumption killin` you by degrees

It`s slow consumption killin` you by degrees
