War Horse Mama Lyrics
On the levee in Memphis town he sells shrimp up and down
While on Beale Street, pig meat mama he trifled around
Trifled, trifled that’s a word, that’s a word he heard
First it made him mad and then it made him sad
Cause he laid down his law

Oh, daddy war horse papa you can't be true
My razor and your need is going to connect
War horse papa that's seven going to ride in a hack
War horse papa, but six is coming back
Don’t mention do I do

Oh, War horse papa, I’m too good a girl to be a fool
War horse papa, you can’t be schooled
Ol’ Satan’s in your heart but I'll tear it apart
