Rolling Stones – Crazy Mama

70's Music 1 Minute

This is my contribution to Song Lyric Sunday for Jim Adams’s blog. This week’s prompt…Crazy.

From their 1976 album, Black and Blue. The song did not chart but it’s still a great deep cut.

Crazy Mama

Well you’re crazy Mama
With your ball and chain
And your sawn off shotgun
Blown out brains, yeah
You can scandalize me
Scorn my name
You can steal my money
And that don’t mean a doggone thing
Cause if you really think you can push it
I’m going to bust your knees with a bullet
Your crazy mama, ah yeah
Well your old time religion
Is just a superstition
You going to pay high prices
For your sacrificises
Well your blood and thunder
Sure can’t faze me none
If your going to keep on coming
I’m gonna take it all head on
If you don’t believe I’m going to do it
Just wait till you get hit by that bullet
Don’t think I ain’t thought about it
But it sure makes my shackles rise
And cold blood murder
Make me want to draw the line
Well your crazy mama
With your ball and chain
Plain psychotic
Plain insane
If you don’t think I’m gonna do it
Just wait for the thud of the bullet

  9. How is it this gem has gone unheard by so many? I am guessing not many are old enough to have had the album and probably are only familiar with Fool to cry off this one. Sometimes it is great to be old! Love the choice you made!
