This song really isn't related; I was misled by the title. Might as well post it here anyway; somebody might look for it here.


MY MAMA DON'T ALLOW ME
As sung by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup on "Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup: Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, Vol. 1 (1941-1946)" (Document Records DOCD-5201)

My mama don't 'low me be out all night long.
My mama don't 'low me be out all night long.
I ain't nothin' but a playboy. Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.

Now if I had my catfish swimmin' in the sea,
I'd have all you women now fishin' after me,
'Cause mama don't 'low me stay out all night long.
I ain't nothin' but a playboy. Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.

Now my baby got 'way like the cats would(?), howlin' on some pine.
When the wind blow, that woman wants to change her mind,
'Cause mama don't 'low me stay out all night long.
I ain't nothin' but a playboy. Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.

I say now, stoop down, mama; let your daddy see.
Why does that baby keep on worryin' me?
'Cause mama don't 'low me stay out all night long.
I ain't nothin' but a playboy. Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.

Baby an' I'm leavin' town, ain't gonna say goodbye.
No use in write an' ask me the reason why.
'Cause mama don't 'low me stay out all night long.
I ain't nothin' but a playboy. Hoo, Lord, some woman done me wrong.
