CHEWIN' MAMA BLUES
(John Henry)
Dinah Washington - 1945


I'm in love with a man
Who's not in love with me
Yes, I'm in love with a man
Who's not in love with me
If I can't get that man
I'd just as soon be down deep in the sea

Yes, he's got everything I've wanted
And I'm not speaking of his gold
He's got everything I ever wanted
And I'm not speaking of his gold
He's got that certain somethin'
That really satisfies my soul

(Instrumental Break)

I'm telling you right now Baby
I'm gonna get you if I can
Yes, I'm telling you right now Baby
I'm going to get you if I can
How could you want another woman
When you know I can't use another man
