Mama's Little Jewel Lyrics - Del Reeves

MAMA'S LITTLE JEWEL 

(Hank Mills - Kermit Barrett) 

'65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI 

You're the meanest woman in this world and that takes centre plenty 

You take my pay check off to town and don't bring home a penny 

Your mama says that you're a queen and should be on a thrown 

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home 

When I found you I thought I'd found a diamond in a rough 

I diamonds what you should be cause I bought you enough 

Today you give the dog a steak and then pitched me the bone 

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home 

Some woman staggered through the door and woke me up at two 

She handed me her ID card and by George it was you 

At baseball game you drink the beer and then hand me the phone 

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home 

Now Jessie Fell was a pussycat compared to the life to you 

At least she didn't slip around and do the things you do 

Webster says that a little jewel should belong to one alone 

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home 

Yeah we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home
