Tell me what have I done, tell me what have I done, tell me what have I done I'm my mama's baby child I ain't got nobody that I can call my own I ain't got nobody that I can call my own I ain't got nobody that I can call my own I'm my mama's baby child Some give me a nickel, some give me a dime I'm my mama's baby child One day you'll be lonesome One day you'll be lonesome Someday you'll be lonesome When I'm gone far away I'm my mama's baby child I knocked on that door, I heard somebody roar Knocked on that door, I was out in the rain and snow Knocked on that door, and I had nowhere to go I'm my mama's baby child Well they packed in them horses all for one line Packed in them horses all for one line Packed in a horse and they put me in a line Just to bury this last body of mine Tell me what have I done Tell me what have I done Tell me what have I done I'm my mama's baby child I'm going away, but I ain't gonna be gone long I'm going away, but I won't be gone long I'm going away, but I ain't gonna stay I'm my mama's baby child Tell y'all I'm bound to roll Tell y'all I'm bound to roll Tell y'all that I'm bound to roll I'm my mama's baby child Applause
