Kick off your shoes Sit you down with my home brew Listen in while I relate the news I been done wrong Now I'll sing my done-wronged song Even a red hot mama gets the blues Done all I can Runnin' round with a no-good man He ain't worth being treated cruel Some things won't change Til your life is rearranged Even a red hot mama plays the fool His ghost lingers But the whiskey washes him down Tried to hide in all the saloons in town [yodel] The morning wakes and reminds me that Even a red hot mama gets the blues Folks it's a fact Can't teach a man how to act If you excuse his cold abuse Send him away If you heard a word that I say Even a red hot mama gets the blues
