Tough Mama

Tough Mama, meat shakin’ on your bones

I'm gonna go down to the river and get some stones

Sister's on the highway with that steel-drivin' crew

Papa's in the big house, his workin' days are through

Tough Mama, 
can I blow a little smoke on you?

Dark Lady, Won't you move it on over and make some room?

Rollin’ steady, sweepin’ through the country like a broom

Put your arms around me, like a circle ‘round the sun

You got a pocket full of money but you can’t help me none

Shady Lady, the Dress that you are wearin’ weighs a ton

Angel Baby, born of a blinding light and a changing wind

Drive me crazy, you know who you are and where you’ve been

Starin’ at the ceiling, standin’ on the chair

Big fires blazing, ashes in the air

Angel Baby, I wonder what you done back there

I’m crestfallen—the world of illusion is at my door

I hear you callin’, same old thing like it was before

Crawlin’ through the meadow like a lion in the den

Headin’ for the round-up at the rainbow’s end

Tough Mama, let’s get on the road again
