Black Woman

Rich Amerson

Well, I said come here, Black Woman, ah-hmm
Ah-hmm, don't you hear me cryin', oh Lordy!

Ah-hmm, I say run here, Black Woman
I want you to sit on black daddy's knee, Lord!

Ah-hmm, I know your house feel lonesome,
Oh, don't you hear me whoopin', oh Lordy!

Don't your house feel lonesome when your biscuit roller gone,
Lord, help my cryin' time,
Don't your hose feel lonesome, Mama, when your biscuit roller gone!
I say my house feel lonesome, I know you hear me cryin', oh baby!

Ah-hmm, ah, when I looked in my kitchen, Mama, and I went all through my dining room!
Ah-hmm, when I woke up this mornin' I found my biscuit roller done gone!

I'm goin' to Texas, Mama, just to hear the wild ox moan,
Lord help my cryin' time,
I'm goin' to Texas, Mama, do you hear the wild ox moan!
And if they moan to suit me, I'm gonna bring a wild ox home!

Ah-hmm, I say I've got to go to Texas, Black Mama,
Ah-hmm, I know I hear my cryin', oh Lordy!

Ah-hmm, I've got to go to Texas, Black Mama, ah, just to hear the white cow, I say, moan!
Ah-hmm, and if they moan to suit me, Lordy, I b'lieve I'll bring a white cow back home!

Say I feel superstitious, Mama, 'bout my hoggin' bread,
Lord, help my hungry time,
I feel superstitous, Baby, 'bout my hoggin' bread!

Ah-hmm, oh Babe, I feel superstitious, I say 'stitious, Black Woman!
Ah-hmm, ah, you hear me cryin' about I done got hungry, oh Lordy!

Oh, Mama, I feel superstitous about my hoggin', Lord God, it's my bread!

I want you tell me, Mama, ah-hmm, I hear me cryin', oh Mama!
Ah-hmm, I want you tell me, Black Woman, oh, where did you stay last night?

I love you, Black Woman, I tell the whole wide world I do,
Lord, help your happy black time,
I love you, Baby, and tell the world I do!

Ah-hmm, I love you, Black Woman, I know you hear me whoopin', Black Baby!
Ah-hmm, I love you, Black Woman, and I'll tell your daddy on you, Lord!
