Bruce Cockburn Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long Lyrics

Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long Lyrics

I was up the road on easy street Watching everybody stand around and cheat A man
comes up and says, "Move along Down to the corner where you belong" But mama
just wants to barrelhouse all night long 



I hear the city singing
like a siren choir Some fool tried to set this town on fire TV preacher screams
"come on along" I feel like Fay Wray face to face with King Kong But mama just
wants to barrelhouse all night long 



I hear the city singing like
a siren Sometimes I wonder what I am I feel like I'm living in a hologram It
doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong Everybody's grabbing and coming on
strong But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
