Abbey Lincoln

Hey, Lordy Mama
Hey Lordy mamaI heard you wasn't feeling' goodThey're spreadin' dirty rumorsAll around the neighborhoodThey say you're mean and evilAnd don't know what to doThat's the reason that he's goneAnd left you black and blueHey yeahTell me what you gonna do nowThey say he's left you all aloneTo weather this old stormHe's got another woman nowHangin' on his arm, yeah yeah yeahThat old fool's tellin' everybodyHe's sick and tired of youHey Lordy Lordy mamaWhat you gonna doHey yeahTell me what you gonna doSongtexteThey say you love to fuss and fightAnd bring a good man downAnd don't know how to treat himThey say you ain't behind himAnd just don't understandAnd think that you're a womanBut actin' like a manHey Lordy mamaWhat you gonna do nowGet your nerves together, babyAnd set the record straightSet it straightLet the whole round world knowIt wasn't youThat cause his bitter fateAll these years you loved himAnd he knows it's true'Cause what you're wantin'For your manIs what he's wantin', tooHey yeahTell me what you gonna do nowWhen you love a man enoughYou're bound to disagree'Cause ain't nobody perfect'Cause ain't nobody freeHey Lordy mamaTell me what you gonna doWhat you gonna do
