Tanya Tucker - The Man That Turned My Momma On lyrics

The Man That Turned My Momma On

I wish I'd known the man a little better

that turned my momma on

He must have been a heck of a man

Cause momma was a lady don't you know

Momma was no prude but she was proper

never wore her dress to short

she didn't care if you did

but she'd of never taken a drank

Grandma Kate did the best she could

to see momma grew up right

so she'd be fittin one day for courtin

and to wear some gentleman's ring

I wish I'd known the man a little better

that turned my momma on

he was always laughing and sang a right sweet song

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

He must have been a heck of a man

Cause momma was a lady don't you know

I hear he came to town one day

in a rusty old 49 ford

selling ladies shoes and assorted greeting cards

he was killer good looking and easy to like

and turning all the ladies heads

but he saw momma first and lord knows

how some of them travelin men are

I wish I'd known the man a little better

that turned my momma on

he was always laughing and sang a right sweet song

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

He must have been a heck of a man

Cause momma was a lady don't you know

Momma seemed to forget the thangs that

grandma Kate had always told her

she ran away one night with a travlin man

they bought gas at Rita's truck stop

and drove to Desoto County

but he brought her home with a ring

upon her hand

Momma's told me how the fever took him

when I was barely 5

but I remember him pitching me up

and catching me

and I love to sit and listen to her

tell me about my daddy

she says he thought the sun must surely

rise and set with me

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

He must have been a heck of a man

Cause momma was a lady don't you know

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

He must have been a heck of a man

Cause momma was a lady don't you kno
