if you see my mama
don't you tell her how i've been...
i'd hate for her to find out
just what an awful state i'm in
if you see my sister
please be careful what you say
if you see my sister,
i think she's down Louisiana way,
say you saw her big brother
and it seemed like he was doing okay
if you see my brother
thank him for the check he wrote...
but don't let on how much i needed it
and don't tell him i'm still broke
if you see my lover
tell her that i am doing just fine
if you see my lover,
and i know you do sometimes,
tell her i didn't ask about her
or talk about the days she was mine
(oh yes she was)
if you see my mother
don't you tell her how i've been
i'd hate for her to find out
just what an awful state i'm in
(and i'm not talking about New Jersey, no)
