Lyrics
COMING OUT BLUES
I?ve got those
gotta tell mama there?ll be no husband blues
gotta tell mama there?ll be no husband blues
well there?ll be weeping and wailing
and tearing of hair
they?ll be throwing that glory box
into the air
when I tell my mama
there will be no husband
I?ve got those
gotta tell mama there?ll be no children blues
gotta tell mama there?ll be no children blues
well there?ll be wringing of hands
and gnashing of teeth
there?ll be mumbling and moaning
in disbelief
when I tell my mama
there?ll be no grandchildren
gotta tell mama my partner?s come to stay
gotta tell mama my partner?s come to stay
well there?ll be startled expressions
and shaking of heads
over two grown women
with only one bed
when I tell my mama
my partner?s come to stay
gotta tell mama
gotta tell mama
gotta tell mama
there?ll be no husband
gotta tell mama
there?ll be no children
gotta tell mama
that woman?s here to stay!
