Love Makin' Mama Lyrics
You may fall from the mountain, drown in the deep blue sea
You ain't did the right fallin', till you fall in love with me
You's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
Now for your love baby, I'll be your slave
When Gabriel blows his trumpet, I rise from my grave
'Cause you's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
Now I'm goin' to put in my order mama, for two weeks ahead
I'd rather eat your cookin' than my own home bread
You's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
(Aw play it now, that's the way I like it....)
Now I give you all my money, your clothes I dye
I give you my lovin' baby till the day I die
You's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but honey you all right with me
Now from your feet baby, to the top of your head
I'll give you my lovin' till the day I'm dead
Sweet lovin' mama, sweet as you can be
You may be a little rockin' but honey you all right with me
Love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
You may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
You ain't did the right fallin', till you fall in love with me
You's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
When Gabriel blows his trumpet, I rise from my grave
'Cause you's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
I'd rather eat your cookin' than my own home bread
You's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me
I give you my lovin' baby till the day I die
You's a love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
Ah you may be a little rockin', but honey you all right with me
I'll give you my lovin' till the day I'm dead
Sweet lovin' mama, sweet as you can be
You may be a little rockin' but honey you all right with me
You may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me

This guy began his recording career in 1927! I just love the OLD love songs. This one, like most from that time, is about falling in love and getting married...a man working outside of the home and his woman taking care of him; his needs; and the household. I especially like the line where he says she's a litle off (crazy..."a little rockin') but that she's still OK with him. Cute song...the typical romantic song of McTell's time. You don't have to be hit upside the head with the notion of sex; it's alluded to by the sheer fact he wants to marry her :)
