Lyrics

Can Mary fry some fish, mama

'Cause I'm as hungry as I can be.

Oh lordy, how I wish, mama

You keep that baby quiet

'Cause this head is killing me.

You think I'm psycho don't you mama?

Mama pour me a 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

'Cause 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 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.

You know that little girl next door, mama

I believe her name was Betty Clark.

Well, don't tell me that she's dead, mama

I just see her in the park.

We were sitting on a bench, mama

Thinking of a game to play.

Seems like I was holding a wrench, mama

And my mind just swiped 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 wake up?

I saw my ex again last night, Mama

She was at the dance at Miller's store.

She was with that Jackie Wihte, Mama

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