My transcription from the recording at the Internet Archive. I have omitted some spoken patter. RED HOT MAMA (FROM A BLUE NOTE TOWN) Words and music by Deuce Spriggens and Margaret Taylor. As recorded by Deuce Spriggens with Tex Williams’ Orchestra on Capitol 15405 (1949) She’s a red-hot mama from a blue-note town, Oh, red-hot mama from a blue-note town, And her lamp is still lit when the town closes down. Now, early to bed and early to rise Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, But if you are healthy, wealthy, and wise, Hey, boy, don’t close your eyes; uh-uh! Stay up all night. Find a red-hot mama from a blue-note town. Well, you knock on the door, say: “Let me in.” It’s just about time for the fun to begin. Push things to it; look all over, round and round, And there on the stairs in the most beautiful gown Is a red-hot mama from a blue-note town. So listen here, boy; now, don’t think it’s rough If your gal friend says you done lost your stuff. Just decide to hang around. Wait until that old red sun goes down, And find a red-hot mama from a blue-note town.
