Mamma Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long Songtext
von Bruce Cockburn

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

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
