Now it was early one morning mama
I was on my way to school
Lord that's when I got the notion
To break my mama's rule
Oh the blues
Falling like showers of rain
I tell you once in a while moment
Think I hear my baby call my name
Lord I cried last night mama
Then I cried the whole night long
Going to do right mama
Then I won't have to cry no more
Lord I don't feel welcome
Pretty mama no place I go
Because the little woman I love mama
Has a‑drove me from her door
