[Cab Calloway And His Orchestra - Beale Street Mama lyrics]
Beale Street mama
Why don't you come back home?
It isn't proper to leave your papa all alone
Sometimes I was cruel, that's true
But mama, your sweet papa never two-timed you
Boo hoo, I'm blue
So how come you do me like you do?
I'm cryin'
Beale Street mama
Don't you mess around with me?
There's fancy pettin' that I
Can get in Tennessee
I still get my sweet cookies, constantly
But not the kind you served to me
So Beale Street mama, come back home
Why don't you come back home?
It isn't proper to leave your papa all alone
Sometimes I was cruel, that's true
But mama, your sweet papa never two-timed you
Boo hoo, I'm blue
So how come you do me like you do?
I'm cryin'
Beale Street mama
Don't you mess around with me?
There's fancy pettin' that I
Can get in Tennessee
I still get my sweet cookies, constantly
But not the kind you served to me
So Beale Street mama, come back home
