Beale Street Mama by Bessie Smith
Jenny Neale
Down in Beale
Gave her papa the air;
Left him cold
Got him told
Said she didn't care.
Old Joe her beau
Looked just like he would die;
If you was near him
You would hear him
Sob his mournful cry:
Beale Street Papa
Why don't you come back home?
It isn't proper to leave your mama all alone!
Sometimes I was cruel that was true

But Papa you know Mama never two-timed you!
Boo-hoo I'm blue;
So how come you do me like you do?
I'm cryin'!
Beale Street Papa don't mess around with me!
There's plenty pettin' that I can get in Tennessee
I'll still get my sweet cooking constantly
But not the kind you served to me
So Beale Street Papa come back home!
So how come you do me like you do?
I'm cryin'!
Beale Street Papa don't mess around with me!
There's plenty pettin' that I can get in Tennessee
I bought a rifle razor and a knife
A full support [?] can't save my life;
So Beale Street Papa come back home!
