Just Wondering

I've often sit and wondered
Mama who could my good friend be
I've often sit and wondered
Mama who could my good friend be
I got myself a mama
Mean everything to me

Once I had a woman
Did not mean me no good
Once I had a woman
Did not mean me no good
She give me so much trouble
Had to move from my neighborhood

I've often sit and cried
Baby don't treat me this a way
I've often sit and cried
Babe don't treat me this a way
Then I thought to myself
I'll gеt a break some day

When I was down and out
I could not raisе my hand
When I was down and out
I could not raise my hand
Got all of my good gals to call me
And low down no good me(?)

I would never give the promise
My baby made to me one day
I would never give the promise
My baby made to me one day
She says I will be with you papa
I don't care where you stayed
