I Used To Be Your Sweet Mama
by Bessie Smith


Bessie Smith says: Ain't it amazing what a bad man can do to a good woman? This is some of the best lyrics I ever wrote:
"you had your chance, and proved unfaithful. So now I'm gonna be, mean and hateful ~ I used to be your sweet mama, sweet papa, but now I'm just as sour as can be."
