Edit: I thought “Mama, You Sweet” made its way into the Dallas, TX set list along with “Fancy Funeral.” I’m not sure what I’ve been smoking but I was incorrect after checking setlist.fm and the glorious “Show” thread. I see no “Mama, You Sweet. “
After checking the 308 set lists that have been documented on setlist.fm, “Mama, You Sweet” has been performed 3 times:http://www.setlist.fm/stats/lucinda-williams-bd6b1f2.html

I do not recall Mama You Sweet being played on this past tour. I do recall it being played in Lafayette, LA when Blake M. was in the band. It was a very different version with a lot of great guitar effects. I remember thinking that it should be played more but it never quite made it back. As punchdrunklove correctly notes it is a very personal song and one she has to be in the right mood to sing-that’s probably why it made it to the setlist in Lafayette.
On a sidebar -as I was typing this I remembered that West was Blake’s favorite Lucinda record and it dawned on me that he had great ideas for some of those songs. I am particularly recalling a stunning version of Where Is My Love from the second night at Park West in Chicago–that was a great show in general.
