Mama Stays Home (Papa He Goes)

[Verse 1]
Ever since he bought the wedding ring
Mama's been a slave and Papa's been a king
Papa, his word is Mama's law
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes

[Chorus]
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Papa's got a ring in Mama's nose
Five little babies in a row
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Papa gave Mama a house to keep
Mama keeps house and Papa, he sleeps
Papa gave Mama a row to hoe
Mama, she hoes and Papa, he goes
Mama, she hoes and Papa, he goes

[Verse 3]
Poor old Mama works so hard
Mama, she works and Papa, he's tired
Papa, he reaps what Mama's sowed
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Twenty-four hours in a day
Mama, she works and Papa, he plays
Watching crops and children grow
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes

[Chorus]
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Papa's got a ring in Mama's nose
Five little babies in a row
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
Mama stays home and Papa, he goes
