Oh you used to told me  you could drive me like a cow
But now you can't drive me  because you don't know how
From now on mama  I tell you just like that
If you hit my dog  sure going to kick your cat
From now on mama  I ain't going to have no rule
I'm going to get hard?headed  and act just like a doggone 
mule
From now on mama  you going to do what I say
You must understand  you can't have your ways
From now on mama  this way you got of doing
Sugar you better stop that  Lord it's sure going to be 
your ruin
From now on mama  starting from this very day
I'm going to get someone  who can drive my blues away
I want her to drive them off  so they won't come back no 
more
From now on mama  I said I'm going to let you go
