Chewin' Mama Blues

Dinah Washington

Compositor: John Henry

I'm in love with a man
Who's not in love with me
Yes, I'm in love with a man
Who's not in love with me
If I can't get that man
I'd just as soon be down deep in the sea

Yes, he's got everything I've wanted
And I'm not speaking of his gold
He's got everything I ever wanted
And I'm not speaking of his gold
He's got that certain somethin'
That really satisfies my soul

I'm telling you right now Baby
I'm gonna get you if I can
Yes, I'm telling you right now Baby
I'm going to get you if I can
How could you want another woman
When you know I can't use another man
