Now mama, mama, mama
Why did you treat me so? Yes
Yes mama, mama, mama
Why do you treat me so?
I know why you treat me so bad, baby
You treat me mean, baby, just because I'm gully low

Now mama, if you listen to me baby
I'll tell you something you don't know, you don't know
Yes, if you just listen to me honey
I'll tell you something you don't know
If you just give me a break, baby, and take me back
I won't be gully no more, gully no more
