So my Gran's name is Mamie, right? and when she was a young girl in the 40's, all the boys called her Flamin' Mamie. I always thought it was funny, because she has this fiery personality. I was telling my coworkers about it today, and it made me realize that I don't know the lyrics. So I googled them. That was a mistake. hahahaha I was so surprised by the lyrics that my jaw dropped. Little Miss Mamie and I are going to have a talk this evening about her teenage years, lol.
Wanna read the lyrics?
They call her Flamin' Mamie
She's the hottest thing in town
When it comes to lovin'
She's a human oven
She really can mow 'um down
Every time she shimmy
Every time the poor girl shake
Mamie do more damage
Than the San Francisco quake
Mamie loved the fireman
The fireman had to retire
Said he tried the rest
But she's the best
She's hotter than Chicago's fire
They call her Flamin' Mamie
She's the hottest thing in town
When it comes to lovin'
She's a human oven
She really can mow 'um down
Mamie told guitar red
She could love a man
Till he falls dead
She told Cruda Crall, John and Jack
She would love them all
Until she breaks their backs
They call her Flamin' Mamie
She's the hottest thing in town
When it comes to lovin'
She's a human oven
She really can mow 'um down
Mamie loved her way to hell
She loved that devil
And she loved him well
Little devil running up and down the wall
Saying do something daddy
She's gonna love us all
They call her Flamin' Mamie
She's the hottest thing in town
When it comes to lovin'
She's a human oven
She really can mow 'um down
-Willie Dixon
