Song : A

A A7
Shall you tell me who’s the flapper I see you with every night?
D7 A
And she’s vampin’ so hard, I’m bound to lose my appetite
E D7 A
That’s my fairskinned mama, better known as Miss Jennie Rice

A A7
I’m going to make you wish you never had been born
D7 A
I just went uptown, got my gun out of pawn
E D7 A
Said don’t start nothing mama your papa’s got your bath water on

A A7
If you don’t have me, papa, you won’t have no gal at all
D7 A
And it seems all the women you meet is bound to fall
E D7 A
Well your daddy said it straight mama you could back your mule up in my stall

Instrumental :
A A7 D7 A E D7 A

A A7
Come on, old papa, ‘cause mama ain’t mad at you
D7 A
But tell me makes you keep me so worried and blue
E D7 A
I said don't stop mama cos your papa got work to do
