Lyrics Dinah Washington – Mellow Mama Blues
Text:
Well, I know my days are numbered
And I know I’m livin’ fast
I’ve got a mellow man who loves me
And mellow whiskey in my glass
So I’ll just stick around
And wait for the time to pass
And wait for the time to pass
Yes, I know I’m not good lookin’
But I’ll put you in your place
No, I know I’m not good lookin’
But I’ll put you in your place
You can’t tell me what I’m likin’
By just lookin’ at my face
I’ve got a secret way of lovin’
And I own the copyright
I’m gonna put it on the market
And do all my business right
I know my man is crooked
And I know my whiskey’s straight
And I know that man can send me
For he feels just like a snake
Yes, I’ll thrill you, baby
I can really satisfy your soul
Yes, I’ll really thrill you, baby
I can satisfy your soul
I’ve got a secret way of lovin’
And it never has been told
