Intro: C
[C]Walking down the levee with my head hangin' low
Looking for my mama but she ain't here no more
Baby [F]you don't know, you don't know my [C]mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
She won't c[C]ook my dinner, won't wash my clothes
Won't do nothing but walk the road
Baby [F]you don't know, you don't know my [C]mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
My br[C]eakfast on the table and my coffee's getting cold
And mama's in the kitchen getting a sweet papa talk
Baby [F]you don't know, you don't know my [C]mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
Solo: C F C G F C
[C] Sometimes I think my baby's too good to die
Sometimes I think she should be buried alive
Baby [F]you don't know, you don't know my [C]mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
I w[C]ish I had a nickel, I wish I had a dime
I wish I hadn't give myself a fabulous time
Baby [F]you don't know[F], you don't know my [C]mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
Solo: C F C G F C
[C] Look at you mama, see what you got it done
You got my money now you broke and run
Baby [F]you don't know, you don't know my [C]mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
You m[C]ade me get mad and you made me get sad
Going get tougher than you have ever had
[F]Baby you don't know, you don't kno[C]w my mind
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
When you [G]see me laughing, I'm l[F]aughing just to keep from cr[C]ying
