"This song includes the word 'mamlish' whose meaning has long been lost"  Delicious mama? Hm...

So, Silent Jim, what you are saying is this black blues guy from the Delta was actually a white racist? As someone from Hunters Point, San Francisco, I find that offensive... but then I guess you just presumed certain things, had certain preconceptions that you projected...  ಠ_ಠ

very little is known about Bobby Grant.He only recorded two songs and was one of the first Delta bluesmen to record.Both his songs were recorded in December 1927 in Chicago. This song includes the word "mamlish" whose meaning has long been lost

When you hear me walking : turn your lamp down low
Then turn it so : your man'll never know

Going to buy me a bed : and it shine like a morning sun
When I get to bed : it rock like a Cadillac car

Your head is nappy : your feet so mamlish long
And you move like a turkey : coming through the mamlish corn

I done told you I loved you : what more can I do
And you must a‑want me : to lay down and die for you
