Can Mary fry some fish, Mama?
I'm as hungry as can be
Oh lordy, how I wish, Mama
You could keep the baby quiet 'cause my head is killing me

I saw my ex again last night, Mama
She was at a dance at Miller's store
She was with that Jackie White, Mama
I killed them both, and they're buried under Jenkin's sycamore.

You think I'm psycho, don't you Mama
I didn't mean to break your cup,
You think I'm psycho, don't you Mama
You better let 'em lock me up

Don't hand me Johnny's Pup, Mama
I might squeeze him too tight
I'm having crazy dreams again, Mama
So let me tell you 'bout last night

I woke up in Johnny's room, Mama
Standing right by his bed
With my hands around his throat, Mama
Wishing both of us were dead

You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
Well, I just killed Johnny's pup
You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
You'd better let 'em lock me up

You recall that little girl, Mama
I believe her name was Betty Clark
Oh, don't tell me that she's dead, Mama
Cause I just saw her in the park

We were sitting on a bench, Mama
Thinking up a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench, Mama
Then my mind just walked away

You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho don't you, Mama
Oh, Mama why don't you get up?
