I get a man that don't do right
He stays out too late at night
Can't pay the rent but he sure can buy that wine
He's kissing on me all the time

Ain't that a Mother's luck
Ain't that a Mother's luck
Ain't that a Mother's luck
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I think I'll give him up
Ain't that a Mother's luck

I cook and sew and sweep
So tired of standing on my two feet
All my bills are overdue
Come to think of it I am too

That man just eats and sleeps and plays
I'm sick and tired of all his ways
He never works and he never will
Too proud to beg and too scared to steal.
