This song is obviously related, and perhaps the source of the above song:


MAMA TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER
As sung by J. B. Lenoir on several collections.

1. Mama, Mama, please talk to your daughter 'bout me. (2x)
She have made me love her and I ain't gon' leave her be.

CHORUS: You should talk to your daughter; you should talk to your daughter. (2x)
She have made me love her and I ain't gon' leave her be.

2. I ain't gon' stand no quittin' and she won't dog me around. (2x)
If she dog me around, she'll sleep six feet in the ground.

REPEAT CHORUS.

[This song has been covered by many, many blues singers. The title is sometimes given as TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER.]
