Crazy Mama Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well you're crazy Mama
With your ball and chain
And your sawn off shotgun
Your blown out brains, yeah

[Verse 2]
You can scandalize me
Scorn my name
You can steal my money
And that don't mean a doggone thing

[Chorus]
'Cause if you really think you can push it
I'm going to bust your knees with a bullet
You're crazy mama, ah yeah

[Verse 3]
Well your old time religion
Is just a superstition
You going to pay high prices
For your sacrifices, ah yeah

[Verse 4]
Well your blood and thunder
Sure can't phase me none
If you're going to keep on coming
I'm going to take it all head on
[Chorus]
If you don't believe I'm going to do it
Just wait until you get hit by that bullet
Crazy mama, ah yeah
I'm coming at ya, getcha boy

[Verse 5]
Ah don't think I ain't thought about it
It sure makes my shackles rise
And cold blood murder
Make me want to draw the line, yeah
Woo yeah

[Verse 6]
Well you're crazy mama
With your ball and chain
You're plain psychotic, woo
Plain insane

[Chorus]
If you don't believe I'm gonna do it
Just wait for the thud of the bullet
Crazy mama, ah yeah

[Outro]
Ah, you're crazy, mama yeah
Ah, you're crazy, mama yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
