Mama get your bags and run
Papa's gonna get a gun
Mama get your bags and fly
Lord have mercy, me oh my

Get out your cuffs baby, circle the floor
I can't live with the devil no more
Vanessa, get your gun
I saw Vanessa in the window last night

Looking out on the hill
Seen her down in the corn field
Sparks flyin' from her head
Get out your cuffs baby, circle the floor

I can't live with the devil no more
Vanessa, get your gun
Vanessa, get your gun

SOLO

Mama get your bags and run
Papa's gonna get a gun
Mama get your bags and fly
Lord have mercy, me oh my

Get out your cuffs baby, circle the floor
I can't live with the devil no more
Vanessa, get your gun
Vanessa, get your gun
Vanessa, get your gun
