Long Tall Ernie and The Shakers

Songtekst

I asked her daddy for her hand,
he refused to understand,
told me that his girl was too young.
So I had to pack my bags,
man it really was a drag,
goin' without a girl like her.
There was also her big fat mama,
who tried to lay her hands, tried to lay her hands on me.

Oh I was ready to leave town,
it was night, no one around,
suddenly a shadow came close.
Was it my love to say goodbye,
so I looked her in the eye,
almost fainted by the sight.
't Was her big-fat-red-burning, mama,
who tried to lay her hands, tried to lay her hands on me.

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

SOLO

I tried to run away, but failed,
hold me close, almost nailed,
told her I would scream for help.
She said: ‘Son, better be still,
when someone comes, I will
tell them that you tried to lay me down’.
She was a smart-fat-red-burning, mama,
who tried to lay her hands, tried to lay her hands on me.

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama
Who tried to lay her hands on me

She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
She was a big fat mama (Yes, she was)
