Oh, tell me mama,
who's that while ago
Oh, tell me mama,
who's that while ago
Yes, when I come in,
who went out that back door
Now that I come here mama
I'm gonna start a ragin' stand
You been out boogie-woogie'n,
there's somethin' I don't understand
I want you to tell me mama,
who's that while ago
Yes, when I come in,
who went out that back door
Now this is somethin',
I never seen before
A man is gettin' my money always,
slammin' my back door
I want you to tell me mama,
who's that while ago
Yes, when I came in,
who went out that back door
Oh, I had to wanna kneel down,
you couldn't give the truth
His hat in his hand and his,
overcoat too
I want you to tell me mama,
why can't you be true
Yes, when I came in,
who went out that back door
He came by me runnin',
smellin' like a whiskey can
My hat in his hand,
and my overcoat too
I want you to tell me mama,
who's that while ago
Yes, when I came in,
who went out that back door
