Some of these days you're going to miss me : mama Lord 
when I'm gone
Now just go ahead and forget it : and try to carry my 
good works on
Now I'm going away mama : but I'll be back some day soon
Just don't lose your head : let no lowdown rounder have 
my room
Mama here I am : right back on the job again
Says I've had no loving : Lord since God knows when
Now you acted bad : and you don't obey my rules
Because I'm back home again : I'm going to take you to a 
brand new school
Now listen here mama : go ahead and set down and be 
yourself
But the next time I go strolling : just try to find you 
someone else
