Whoopee Mama Lyrics - Tampa Red

I've got a whoopee mama 

She makes whoopee all the time 

I've got a whoopee mama 

She makes whoopee all the time 

She stays full of dope and liquor 

And clowns all over town 

Whoopee mama 

I sho' been good to you 

Whoopee mama 

I sho' been good to you 

But I've done got tired 

Of the dirty way you do 

My whoopee mama 

Treats me like a slave 

My whoopee mama 

Treats me like a slave 

I goin' to buy me an army special 

And put my baby in her grave 

I work all the summer 

An' I work all the fall 

But even spend the winter 

In a dank of overhauls 

Whoopee mama 

You so unkind to me 

But I'm sho' goin' to get you, baby 

Yes, you wait and see 

You told me that you loved me 

An' I caught you in a lie 

Smile the day you quit me, mama 

That's the day you'll die 

Whopee mama 

I'm goin' to mow you down 

I'm gonna send your beautiful body 

To some lonesome buryin' ground
