oh oh oh oh oh oh
a little brother is a little shy
he keeps a bible by his bedside
under a bottle and some dim lamp light
and my baby sisters lonely only she don't lie
but she never sleeps alone at night
one in the basement and another on the side
she keeps her doors locked tight and her windows wide
oh oh oh oh oh oh
whats a woman and a man to do?
half a heart ain't enough for two
you ever wonder why the pitcher's bone dry?
the sugar pots empty when the neighbors drop by
cause mama's saving all her sugar for you
cause mama's saving all her sugar for you
cause mama's saving all her sugar for you
mama's saving it all
oh oh oh oh oh oh
