Jim Dixon Lyr Req: Red Hot Mama (Wells, Cooper, Rose) (16) Lyr Add: RED HOT MAMA (FROM A BLUE NOTE TOWN) 15 Feb 22


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.
