Mama’s done in the kitchen
She’s been washing her hands
She’s got blood on her shoulders
She’s done something that no man can
She looks up to the sky
Breathes a sigh of relief
Cause Lord Mama’s played him like a broken string
Lord Mama played him like a broken guitar string
He walked into her life
Claims he’s a man of the world
He’s done nothing to please her
He stands back and watches her work
She looks up to the sky
Breathes a sigh of relief
Cause Lord Mama’s played him like a broken string
Lord Mama played him like a broken guitar string
You think Mama’s been stumblin’
Holding the world on her back
She’s got all her aces straight
Mama walks off the beaten track
She looks up to the sky
Breathes a sigh of relief
Cause Lord Mama’s played him like a broken string
Lord Mama played him like a broken guitar string
Lord Mama played him like a broken guitar string
