Stingy mama, don't be so stingy with me
I say, stingy mama, don't be so stingy with me
Says, you's a good little girl, Lord, you so stingy with me
Throw your water out your pitcher
, mama, let your bowl go dry
Throw your water out your pitcher, let your bowl go dry
Said, I want some of your lovin', mama, just before you die
Said, my babe got a
mojo
and she won't let me see
Said, my babe got a mojo, she won't let me see
One mornin' about four o'clock she eased that old thing on me
Now mama, mama, you can't keep that mojo hid
I say, hey-hey, mama, can't keep that mojo hid
'Cause I got something, mama, just to find that mojo with
Now my mama left me something called that old
stingaree
Hey, mama left me something called that stingaree
Says, I done stung my little woman and she can't stay away from me
