Can Mary fry some fish, Mama
'Cause I'm as hungry as can be
Oh, lordy, how I wish, Mama
You could keep that baby quiet
'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 Wihte, Mama
I killed them both and they're buried
Under Jacob's' sycamore

You think I'm psycho don't you Mama
Mama pour me a cup
You think I'm psycho don't you mamma
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 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
Oh Mama why don't you get up
