Early James
Mama Can Be My Valentine
[Verse 1]
No I cannot find the right kind of crazy
Seems like all the women I like seem to be pushing daises
Them turquoise decoys, I tell you boys
I ain’t got the time
No sir

[Verse 2]
But I need me a woman that’ll act like a child
The right combination of meek and wild
Somewhere between pale
Brunette and a southern girl with Loretta Lynn’s smile

[Chorus]
Well I been thinking’ that in due time
Find me that woman, drink it down like wine
Until then, say until then
Yes my mama can be my valentine

[Verse 3]
Well I think it’s sure same, almost heaven sent
Her eyes harmonize like Iris DeMent
Calluses on all her fingers
Be half silk, half cement
Yes sir
[Verse 4]
And If I ever find that woman I’m gonna dig her grave
Right next to wherever my body be layed
And worms will confirm that we died by time stealing fruit

[Chorus]
Well I been thinking’ that in due time
Find me that woman, drink it down like wine
Until then, until then
I say until then, I say until then
Yes my mama can be my valentine
