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

Love makin' mama, sweet as you can be
You may be a little rockin', but baby you all right with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

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 :)
