Lyrics

I got a sweet little angel
I love the way she spreads her wings
Woah, I got a sweet little angel
I love the way she spreads her wings
Woah, when he spreads his wings around me
Woah, Big Mama, get joy in everything
You know I asked him for a nickel
Oh, he gave me a 20 dollar bill
Ooh, asked him for a nickel
Oh, I just asked him for a little taste of whiskey
And the man walked out and bought me a whiskey still
You know I looked all around me
Woah, my baby can't be far
Woah, looked all around me
Woah, my baby can't be far
You know I got to find the one I love
So Big Mama gonna take a walk down to the bowling ground
Oh, that's where all the men hang out
Alright now let me hear from you baby, woo
You know it's 3 o'clock in the morning right now
Oh, I can't even close my eyes
Oh, 3 o'clock in the morning now
Oh, I can't even close my eyes
Why don't someone help me find the one I love
And so Big Mama can be satisfied
Oh, without my baby with me
Oh, I believe I would die
Oh, without my baby with me
Oh, I believe I would die
Oh, if you don't care no more for me little angel
I want you to tell me
Come on and tell me
Walk up like a man and tell me
So I can hit you upside yo' head with a brick
Woo
Alright, yeah
Thank you, woo
