Can Mary fry some fish, Mama
I'm as hungry as can be 
Oh lord, how I wish, Mama 
You could stop the baby cryin' '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 White, Mama 
I killed them both, and they're buried under Jacob's sycamore 

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 
You better let 'em lock me up 

Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup, Mama 
As I might squeeze him too tight 
I'm havin' 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 

Oh, you recall that little girl, Mama 
I believe her name was Betty Clark 
Oh, don't tell me that 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 
Mama why don't you get up?
