"Sweet Mama Janisse" lyrics

Here's a little story
About a friend of mine that comes from Louisiana
She live up in the country, Southern California
I always talk about the country
The way people are feeling, that's the way this country feel

Tell me mama what you do
Make me feel good when I'm next to you
Is it the way you cook cornbread with some greens
Black eyed peas and red beans

If a man get worried
Got to find some peace
He can move his home
To the home of Sweet Mama Janisse

She's a creole woman at flashy brown
Cook them hot brothers turn your damper down

If a man get worried
Got to find some peace
She can cleave you along
And you will say I have it with ease

Men folk come from miles around
Just to hear her lay some of her sweet jive down

If a man get worried
Got to find some peace
He can find his home
At the home of Sweet Mama Janisse

Looka here boy
Sweet Marie

Oh baby, she don't care
Give you a great big hug, solid as a bear

If a man get worried
Got to find some peace
Go on up to the hill country
To the home of Sweet Mama Janisse

I ain't harried, I ain't worried
My folks are happy now
Smiling at the baby

If a man get worried
Got to find some peace
He can find his home
At the home of Sweet Mama Janisse
