You Don't Know My Mind Lyrics - Let Them Talk - Hugh Laurie

Walking down the levee with my head down low 

Looking for my mama but she ain't here no more 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying 

She won't cook my dinner, won't wash my clothes 

Won't do nothing but walk the road 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying 

My breakfast on the table and my coffee's getting cold 

And mama's in the kitchen getting sweep papa told 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying 

Sometimes I think my baby's too good to die 

Sometimes I think she should be buried alive 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying 

I wish I had a nickel, I wish I had a dime 

I wish I hadn't give myself a bad woman's time 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying 

Look at you mama, see what you got it done 

You got my money now you broke and run 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying 

You made me get mad and you made me get sad 

Going gets tougher than you have ever had 

Baby you don't know, you don't know my mind 

When you see me laughing, I'm laughing just to keep from crying.
