Intro

Ricky (G) Tidwell was a great athlete

He was a (C) big strong boy that was quick on his feet

And every (G) college in the country wanted Ricky blockin' on their (D) line

Oh when the (G) scouts came knocking on Ricky's door

They (C) didn't want to talk to young Rick no more

When they (G) saw his mama she's the (D) one they wanted to (G) sign

She was a real bold woman raised on a farm

Had (C) Bear Bryant tattooed on her forearm

She was (G) meaner than hell and ran the 40 in 4.(D)3

She could (G) squat 600 bench press 5

The (C) hands down meanest homemaker alive

Got a (G) scholarship playing line(D)backer in the SE(G)C (G7)

Ricky (C) Tidwell's mama is gonna play football

Her (G) real name's Doris but they're gonna call her "Too (D) Tall"

She's got (G) shoulders and a hind end four foot wide

(C) Going to college on a (C7) full ride

Mrs. (G) Tidwell's will you (D) play in the (F) NC-(C)-double-(G)-A

She'd (G) wash all her team mates uniforms

Tucked (C) everybody in the football dorms

(G) Cooked the game meal, said the Lord's prayer

You're (D) missing a jockstrap? She's got a spare

(G) Crawled in the huddle, and called all the plays

The (C) only one tough enough to go both ways

Got a (G) mouth full of mud, scarred up knees

(D) Cussing out the coaches and the referees

Ricky (C) Tidwell's mama's gonna play football

Her (G) real name's Doris

Everbody calls her "Too (D) Tall"

They say she's a (G) fine young man but she's really not

Ricky's (C) mama was the master of the (C7) cheap shot

And on the (G) triple option (D) play she'd (F) ruin (C) your (G) day

She led the (F) team in tackles and the (C) league in sacks

Res(G)ponsible for killing nine running backs

But the (F) school's reputation (C) was destroyed

They (G) accused Ricky's mama of (D) ster(D7)oids

Ricky (C) Tidwell's mama's on probation

Now the (G) college is started their investiga(D)tion

They wouldn't leave (G) poor Ricky Tidwell's mama alone

Said (C) she'd been takin' male (C7) hormones

Doris (G) Tidwell's gonna be (D) hell

In the (F) N-(C)-F(G)-L

Ricky Tidwell's mama

Spoken:

I got a flagrant personal foul, unsportsmanlike conduct

Illegal use of a clothesline

15 yard penalty

1st down
