I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on

                    G7G7            FF
He must have been a heck of a man cause mama was a lady don't you know


             C majorC        FF         C majorC
Mama was no prude but she was proper never wore her dress too short

                G7G7         C majorC
She didn't care if you did but she'd never taken a drink

                    FF        C majorC
Grandma Kate did the best she could to see mama grew up right

            G7G7           FF           C majorC
So she'd be fitting one day for courting and to wear some gentleman's ring

                       FF       C majorC
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on

                G7G7         C majorC
People was always laughing and sang a right sweet song


C majorC                       FF       C majorC
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on

                    G7G7            FF
He must have been a heck of a man cause mama was a lady don't you know

I hear he came to town one day in a rusty old '49 Ford

             G7G7        C majorC
Selling ladies shoes and assorted greeting cards

                        FF           C majorC
He was killer good looking and easy to like and turning all the ladies heads

             G7G7           FF         C majorC
But he saw mama first and Lord knows how some of them traveling men are


C majorC                       FF       C majorC
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on

                    G7G7            FF
He must have been a heck of a man cause mama was a lady don't you know

Mama seemed to forget the things that grandma Kate had always told her

            G7G7         C majorC
She ran away one night with that traveling man

                     FF        C majorC
They bought gas at Reba's Truck Stop and drove to Desoto County

          G7G7        FF    C majorC
But he brought her home with a ring upon her hand


C majorC                   FF         C majorC
Mama's told me how the fever took him when I was barely five

                G7G7       C majorC
But I remember him pitching me up and catching me

                  FF        C majorC
And I love to sit and listen to her tell me about my daddy

            G7G7        FF        C majorC
She says he thought the sun would surely rise and set in me


C majorC                       FF       C majorC
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
