"Mean Mama Blues" lyrics - RAMBLIN' JACK ELLIOTT

There's lots of mean women on almost any street
Lots of mean women on almost any street
Lots of mean women on almost any street
But I've got the meanest mama that ever walked on two feet

That gal is so low down I often wonder why
She's so low down I often wonder why
She keeps on living I guess she's to mean to die

I'm gonna buy me a pistol I'll think I'll get a 44
I'm gonna get me a pistol think I'll get a 44
And when I get done shooting that girl ain't gonna step no more

Well if I was a steam ship sailing on the deep blue sea
If I was a steam ship sailing on the deep blue sea
I'd drown all you women if you'd try to ride on me
