Mama, Don’t Treat Your Daughter Mean Ry Cooder

[Chorus]
Hey, mama, don't you treat your daughter mean
Hey, mama, don't you treat your daughter mean
'Cause you treat her so mean and she's only sweet sixteen

[Verse 1]
It was late last Friday evening, when everything was still
I heard somebody calling my name outside my window sill
I got up and I looked outside strainin' my eyes to see
And my heart went wild when I realized just who was calling me
I hollered "Hey!"

[Chorus]
Hey, mama, don't you treat your daughter mean
Hey, mama, don't you treat your daughter mean
'Cause you treat her so mean and she's only sweet sixteen

[Verse 2]
Now her eyes was blazing up at me
And her hair was black as night
Well her naked skin shone like gold
Out in the pale moonlight
Then she took my hand and she pulled me down
Where the grass was grown up tall
Then she moved her body all around
Just like a cannon ball
I hollered "Hey!"
