Little Mama
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello little mama, have you heard the news
Ever since you left me I got nothing but the blues
Come back to me baby, I'll buy you a brand-new automobile
Come back to me baby, I'll buy you a brand-new automobile
If that not enough baby I'll even go on and steal
I'll give you all my money and all my loving too
If that not enough baby, I'll do anything you tell me to
Come back to me baby, I'll buy you a brand-new automobile
Come back to me baby, I'll buy you a brand-new automobile
If that not enough baby I'll even go on and steal
The song "Little Mama" by Fats Domino is a classic blues song that is about a man who is trying to win back his lover. The song opens with the singer greeting his former lover and asking if she has heard the news. He then reveals that ever since she left him, he has been nothing but blue. The chorus is an appeal to her to come back to him, promising her a new automobile and all his money and love. He even goes as far as to say he will steal for her if that will bring her back to him.
The song is a perfect example of the classic call-and-response format of blues music. The verses and chorus create a dialogue between the singer and his former lover, with him making promises and her responses left to the listener's imagination. The song's use of the automobile as a symbol of the singer's love and devotion to his lover is particularly poignant, as it is representative of the American Dream and the potential for upward mobility.
The lyrics of the song are simple yet effective, with the repetition of the chorus adding to the song's emotional impact. Fats Domino's soulful voice and the bluesy instrumentation offer a perfect backdrop for the song's message of love, loss, and redemption.
