Lyrics

Can Mary fry some fish, mama

I'm as hungry as can be.

Oh lord, how I wish, mama

You could stop the baby cryin'

'Cause my head is killing me.

I saw my ex again last night mama

She was at the dance at Miller's store

She was with that Jackie White mama

I killed them both and they're buried under Jacob'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.

Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup mama

As I might squeeze him too tight.

I'm havin' crazy dreams again mama

So let me tell you 'bout last night.

I woke up in Johnny's room mama

Standing right there 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

I just killed Johnny's pup.

You think I'm psycho don't you mama

You'd better let 'em lock me up.

Oh, 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 of 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

Mama why don't you get up?
