No Man's Mama Lyrics & Tabs by Carolina Chocolate Drops
No Man's Mama
guitar chords lyrics
You may wonder
what's the reason
for this great big smile;
Say I haven't
been so happy
for the longest while;
Got a big load off my mind;
Here's the paper,
sealed and signed
And the judge was nice and kind
all through the trial;
This ends the five year war.
I am myself once more;
I can go where I please;
I can come when I please;
I am myself once more;
I can go where I please;
I can come when I please;
I can flit, fly, and flutter
like the birds in the trees
because I'm no man's mama now.
I can do what I like;
I can say what I like;
I'm a gal who is on the matrimonial strike
because I'm no man's mama now.
I'm screaming now I know how
a fellow feels gettin' out of jail.
I've got twin beds
and I take pleasure in announcing
one's for sale.
Am I making it plain?
I will never again
drag around another ball and chain.
Because I'm no man's mama now.
I can smile.
I can wink.
I can go take a drink,
and I don't have to worry what my hubby will think.
Beacause I'm no man's mama now.
Are you gettin' it yet?
I can spend what I choose.
I can play and sing the blues,
and there's nobody messing with my ones and my twos.
Because I'm no man's mama now.
I tell ya
there was a time
I used to think that men were grand.
No more
I've gone and labeled my apartment
no man's land.
I got rid of my cat
because the cat's name was Pat.
Don't even have a mailbox
in my flat.
Because I'm no man's mama now.
Am I makin' it plain?
I will never again
drag around another ball and chain.
Because I'm no man's mama now.
