Hurry up mama
pack your grip
let's go back to
old muscle shoals for a trip
Come on Mama
pack your grip
let's go
'cause there's something on my mind
it keeps me worried all the time,
I woke up this morning
feeling glad; thinking about
the good old times we once had
Hurry Mama
we must leave this town
Got the blues for muscle shoals
that's where we sure can get the gold.

Mama mama mama
why do't you join hands
and go with me to muscle shoals town
you know you really made me love you
now you're tryin' to throw me down.
We got to catch the evening train
or else I sure will go insane
Mama mama mama
I will ask you to go one more time,
oh my honey Babe,
you know I'm really wild about you now
you're sure got to behave.
I've got the muscle shoals blues dear
really we sure must leave from here.

Mama mama mama

Mama mama mama
I will ask you to go one more time,
oh my honey Babe,
you know I'm really wild about you now
you're sure got to behave.

Feeling much better
since I left
I'm really glad
I've got someone for myself.
Sit down Mama
on your papa's knee
I am goin' to make you glad
no more you ever will feel sad
The winter is coming
snow may fall
we don't care nothing
'bout the weather at all,
I'm your wootsie
you my tootsie too
I am glad you like this place
look your sweet papa in the face.

Mama mama mama
why do't you join hands
and go with me to muscle shoals town
you know you really made me love you
now you're tryin' to throw me down.
We got to catch the evening train
or else I sure will go insane
Mama mama mama
I will ask you to go one more time,
oh my honey Babe,
you know I'm really wild about you now
you're sure got to behave.
I've got the muscle shoals blues dear
really we sure must leave from here.
