Lyrics:
Mama, Why Don't You Be Yourself Trk 18 3: 01 Walter Davis (Walter Davis) Walter Davis - vocal, Roosevelt Sykes (Willie Kelly) piano Dallas, Texas Wednesday February 10, 1932 Album: Walter Davis First Recording 1930-1932 Jsp Records #605 rca #706741-1 My baby looked for me Way late hours in the night My baby, she looked for me Way late hours in the night But Lord, I never came home 'Till the sun was shinin' bright Now Mama, why don't you try to be yo'self? 'Ah, be yo'self Mmm, mama, why don't you try to be yo'self? Because I always will love you, baby When I don't love nobody else I was 'cused of murdering An I had to deny my name Now, I was 'cused of murdering An I had to deny my name Now my girl don't love me But my mother love me just the same The girl that I'm loving She don't mean me no good The girl that I'm loving She don't mean me no good An I don't love nobody 'Round in this neighborhood Spoken: 'i been beggin' her for two weeks Just to be herself My babe don't treat me good, no mo' Keep me worried all the time' 'Play them blues for me'. ~
