C Bb F C

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

C G F

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

C F C

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

C G C

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

C F C

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

C G F C

So she'd be fittin' one day for courtin' and to wear some gentleman's ring

Chorus:

C Bb F C

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

C G C

He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song

C Bb F C

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

C G F

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

Sellin' ladies shoes and assorted greeting cards

He was killin' good-looking' and easy to like and turnin' all the ladies heads

But he saw mama first and Lord knows how some of them travelin' men are

Chorus

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

She ran away one night with that traveling man

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

But he brought her home with a ring upon her hand

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

But I remember him pitchin' me up and catchin' me

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

She says she thought the sun must surely rise and set in me

Chorus
