lyrics
Mama I guess they really loved yr boy today
Mama I guess they really dug th things I say
Mr. Sullivan said I was knockin' em dead
Mr. Sullivan said I's cool
Mama I guess they really loved yr boy today
Mama, I hope you're really truly proud of me
Mama, I know you worry but can you see?
My life is changing it seems so strange, when
So many people love me
Mama, I hope you're really truly proud of me
A newspaper said, it's all gone to my head
My wigglin' makes em dizzy to see
In pink white & black I'm like a heart attack
But I'm a Tupelo boy set free
Mama!
Mama, you know you mean so much to me
Mama, you and Daddy will one day be
In the biggest home in west Tennessee
With servants, a car, and a pool
Mama, you know you mean so much to me
Running out of time wanna say these words
Things move so fast and test my nerve
But I'll still be your son when all is done
& to your waiting arms is where I'll run
Mama, they're now calling for me to go
Mama, there's a party after the show
Yes, I'll be good but I'm thinking I should
Remind u I love you so
Mama, now they're calling for me to go
Mama, they're now calling for me to go
Mama I guess they really dug th things I say
Mr. Sullivan said I was knockin' em dead
Mr. Sullivan said I's cool
Mama I guess they really loved yr boy today
Mama, I hope you're really truly proud of me
Mama, I know you worry but can you see?
My life is changing it seems so strange, when
So many people love me
Mama, I hope you're really truly proud of me
A newspaper said, it's all gone to my head
My wigglin' makes em dizzy to see
In pink white & black I'm like a heart attack
But I'm a Tupelo boy set free
Mama!
Mama, you know you mean so much to me
Mama, you and Daddy will one day be
In the biggest home in west Tennessee
With servants, a car, and a pool
Mama, you know you mean so much to me
Running out of time wanna say these words
Things move so fast and test my nerve
But I'll still be your son when all is done
& to your waiting arms is where I'll run
Mama, they're now calling for me to go
Mama, there's a party after the show
Yes, I'll be good but I'm thinking I should
Remind u I love you so
Mama, now they're calling for me to go
Mama, they're now calling for me to go

Yep, I'm the guy from the Americana founders the Long Ryders in 1980s L.A. & the guy in the first ever alt-bluegrass act, the Coal Porters, recently out of London. You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
