Can Mary fry some fish, mama?
       Bm
I'm as hungry as can be
   D
Oh lordy, how I wish, mama
               G                             A               D
That you could keep the baby quiet 'cause my head is killing me
D
I saw my ex again last night, mama
        Bm
She was at the dance at Miller's store
        D
She was with that Jackie White, mama
              G                             A            D
I killed them both and they're buried under Jenkin's sycamore


(pause)                         Bm
You think I'm psycho don't you, mama?
                 D
Mama, pour me a cup
                                Bm
You think I'm psycho don't you, mama?
A                            D      B
You'd better let 'em lock me up


E
Don't hand me Johnny's pup, mama
               Dbm
'Cause I might squeeze him too tight
           E
I'm havin' crazy dreams again, mama
           B                  E
So let me tell you 'bout last night
E
I woke up in Johnny's room, mama
         Dbm
Standing right there by his bed
        E
With my hands around his throat, mama
         B               E
Wishing both of us were dead


 (pause)                         Dbm
You think I'm psycho don't you, mama?
                       E
I just killed Johnny's pup
                                Dbm
You think I'm psycho don't you, mama?
B                             E     C
You'd better let 'em lock me up


               F
You know that little girl next door, mama
       Dm
I believe her name was Betty Clark
    F
Oh, don't tell me that she's dead, mama
              C              F
'Cause I just saw her in the park
F
We were sitting on a bench, mama
         Dm
Thinking up a game to play
            F
Seems I was holding a wrench, mama
            C                  F
And then my mind just walked away


                                Dm
You think I'm psycho don't you, mama?
                            F
I didn't mean to break your cup
                                 Dm     C
You think I'm psycho don't you, mama?
 (pause)                       Dm
Oh mama, why don't you get up?
