Robert Hunter - Shake Shake Mama lyrics

[Verse 1] I get the blues for you, baby, when I look up at the sun I get the blues for you, baby, when I look up at the sun Come back here, we can have some real fun [Verse 2] Well, it's early in the evening, and everything is still Well, it's early in the evening, and everything is still One more time, I'm walking up on a heartbreak hill [Chorus 1] Shake, shake, mama; like a ship going out to sea Shake, shake, mama; like a ship going out to sea You took all my money and you give it to Richard Lee [Verse 4] Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking around Down by the river, Judge Simpson walking a-round Nothing shocks me more than that old clown [Verse 5] Some of you women, you really know your stuff Some of you women, you really know your stuff But your clothes are all torn And your language is a little too rough [Chorus 2] Shake, shake, mama; shake it til the break of day Shake, shake, mama; shake it til the break of day I'm right here, baby, I'm not that far away [Verse 7] I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too It's Friday morning on Franklin Avenue [Chorus 3] Shake, shake, mama; raise your voice and pray Shake, shake, mama; raise your voice and pray If you're goin on home, ya better go the shortest way
