Well yes now mama don't you think I know what you been putting out
Mama don't you think I know that you been stepping out
Mama can't you see that I done caught on to your lie
Though you used to say you love me and you better not start cryin'
'Cause when that midnight train starts rollin' down that line
Your long lovin' daddy's gonna have an easy mind
(Play the blues boy!)

Well yes now mama don't you think I know you made a fool of me
My head is hanging low Lord, you done made a wreck of me
Though you used to say you love me, it ain't nothing but a lie
You done told me that before and then you left me high and dry
I don't never want to see you hangin' 'round my door no more
Mama don't you think I know what you done used me for

Well yes now mama don't you think I know what you done used me for
Mama don't you think I know
Mama-mama don't you think I know
Mama-mama don't you think I know
