SLOW DOWN SWEET MAMA (Leon Chappel) LEON CHAPPEL (Capitol 1447, 1951) Slow down sweet mama Now, can't you see you're killin' me Lord, I'm tired of your two-timing And the way you're doggin' me I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get you to slow down She come home this morning The sun was shinin' bright as day Out all night, sweet mama With your low down triflin' way I'm fed up and disgusted You can't be trusted, night or day So, slow down sweet mama You're way ahead of me a mile Lord, I can't keep up sweet mama With your speedy stream line style I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down [Spoken] Yes, yes, yes Why don't you slow down honey Take your time, take your time Go slow sweet mama Why don't you try to please behave She's sure mean mistreatin' Your papa's hair is turnin' gray I'm sick and tired of pleadin' Tryin' to get my gal to slow down I'll try sweet mama To make you love me and do right But it just ain't in you, mama You're honky-tonkin' every night I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down Now, so long sweet mama You know you done your papa wrong If you don't believe I'm leavin' Mama, count the days I'm gone 'Cause I'm sick and tired of pleadin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down |
