TWO-FISTED MAMA
As sung by Katie Webster
From the album "Two-Fisted Mama" (Alligator Records ALCD-4777)

I'm a two-fisted mama; you better watch out for me.
I'm gonna rock your boogie-woogie; I'm gonna shake your tree,
'Cause I'm a two-fisted mama; just you wait and see.

Don't try to cut me, and don't you give me no mess.
Don't you try to cut me, 'cause I've messed up the best,
'Cause I'm a two-fisted mama; I ain't like all the rest. (And you better believe that.)

I learned how to boogie-woogie when I was just a child.
Playin' that Texas shuffle used to drive my mother wild.
She said playin' Lou'siana was a proud ...(?) for a girl,
'Cause these two fists of mine took me all around the world.

I taught this old piano how to shake, rattle and roll.
I took the blues from Houston, Texas; I gave the world my soul,
'Cause I'm a two-fisted mama; you just grab ahold.

(Oh, grab your seat belt, buddy.)
