Hey, Lordy Mama Abbey Lincoln

[Verse 1]
Hey Lordy mama
Heard you wasn't feeling good
They're spreading dirty rumors
Around the neighborhood
They say you're, you're mean and evil
And don't know what to do
And that's the reason that he's gone
And left you black and blue

[Refrain]
Hey Lordy mama (Hey Lordy mama)
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?

[Verse 2]
They say he's left you all alone
To weather this old storm
He's got another woman now
Hangin' on his arm
He's tellin' everybody (Mmm hmm)
He's sick and tired of you
Hey Lordy, Lordy mama (Lordy, Lordy mama)
What you gonna do?

[Refrain]
Hey Lordy mama (Hey Lordy mama)
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
