0l' black Bascom, don't break no mirrorsCold black water dog, make no tearsYou say you love me with what may be loveDon't you remember makin' baby love?Got your steam drill built and you're lookin' for some kidTo get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer didBut I know that you know that I know that you showSomething is tearing up your mind.Tell me, momma,Tell me, momma,Tell me, momma, what is it?What's wrong with you this time?Hey, John, come and get me some candy goodsShucks, it sure feels like it's in the woodsSpend some time on your January tripsYou got tombstone moose up and your brave-yard whipsIf you're anxious to find out when your friendship's gonna endCome on, baby, I'm your friend!And I know that you know that I know that you showSomething is tearing up your mind.Tell me, momma,Tell me, momma,Tell me, momma, what is it?What's wrong with you this time?Ohh, we bone the editor, can't get readBut his painted sled, instead it's a bedYes, I see you on your window ledgeBut I can't tell just how far away you are from the edgeAnd, anyway, you're just gonna make people jump and roarWhatcha wanna go and do that for?For I know that you know that I know that you knowSomething is tearing up your mind.Ah, tell me, momma,Tell me, momma,Tell me, momma, what is it?What's wrong with you this time?
