Mary Dixon - All Around Mama Lyrics


Mary Dixon Lyrics

All Around Mama Lyrics
Woom dum dum... (a bad attempt at transcribing scat singing...)

I've had men, all the sizes
Had 'em tall and lean
Had 'em short, had 'em flabby
Had 'em in between

I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama, with an all round mind

Once I had a big fat man
Big as he could be
But I left my big fat man
He slept too close to me

I met a man, he was a jockey
Did the things he should
Always ready, that's the reason
He could ride so good

I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama, with an all round mind

Had a boy, young and tender
Treated me so fine
Never had nothing else but
That thing on my mind

I met a man, in the gin mill
We drank gin so fast
Took me home, I remember
I said "oh my yas"

Woom dum... (scat chorus)

I met a man, was a butler
When he spoke I ran
Was too mannish for a woman
Too girlish for a man

Saw a man, good old sweetbag,
Said that I should know
He didn't do any lovin'
'Less he get some dough

All round mama
I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama, with an all round mind

Met a man, down in Georgia
Brought his meals to bed
Liked my feet, and my cabbage
Wild about my bread

Had a man, gave my money
Left him way last Fall
When he said: can I get it
I said: Baby take it all

I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama
I'm an all round mama, with an all round mind
