about

Ok, what can we say about Mama? This is just a good ol’ fun ditty to play! This song will have you up and dancing in circles, and shaking those feet! You don’t have to learn to play from a bluesman, you just have to find your stride. And when your woman leaves you high and dry? Don’t fret yourself. Sometimes you just have to do the best you can, stand up straight and move on. And when things seem like they’re at their worst, nothing makes you feel quite as good as a hug from Mama. She’ll always love you, you know!

lyrics

MAMA

Knew me a bluesman, he said he’d teach me how to play
Knew this old bluesman, he said he’d teach me how to play
That old bluesman up and died
Now I’m a guitar player tryin’ to find my stride

Met me a woman, she said she’d teach me how to love
Met this mean old woman, she said she’d teach me how to love
That girl took everything
She even stole my bathtub ring

Had me a young child, he said he’d teach me how to live
Sweet little young child, he said he’d teach me how to live
He said, “sit tall and do your best
A little hug from mama takes care of all the rest.”
He said, “sit tall and do your best
A little hug from mama takes care of all the rest.”

about

WHOA!TIGER Indianapolis, Indiana

We're WHOA!TIGER, and we've been busy in the central Indiana original music scene since 2008.

Any fan of gutsy rock-n-roll and storytelling lyrics should find plenty to like in WHOA!TIGER. Inspired by the classic album-oriented bands of the 70's, we write contemporary original rock music, with a decidedly old soul.

All our recordings are here, so listen and enjoy! We appreciate your support! ... more
