Lyrics

Up from the river comes Marcy
Barefooted with a fishing pole
Wearin’ an old straw hat, dirty overalls
Mississippi mud between her toes

Over yonder on the front porch
Mister Charlie talking up Miss Pearl
Cool whisky in a tin cup
Sitting on top of the world

Mamas cooking in the kitchen
Fried chicken on the stove
Mamas cooking in the kitchen
You can smell it coming down the road

Sister Mabel on Sunday
At the Ebenezer Baptist Church
Preacher dunked her three times
Until the devil come up outa her

Mamas cooking in the kitchen
Fried chicken on the stove
Mamas cooking in the kitchen
You can smell it coming through the screen door

Daisy lying in a pine box
Over at the funeral home
Rings on her fingers, have all gone missin’
Gravedigger only had one arm

Mamas cooking in the kitchen
Fried chicken on the stove
Mamas cooking in the kitchen
You can smell it coming down the road

Mamas cooking in the kitchen
Fried chicken on the stove
Mamas cooking in the kitchen
You can smell it coming through the screen door
