I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
                                        G7                        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
                               G7                  C
She didn't care if you did but she'd never taken a drink
                                       F                C
Grandma Kate did the best she could to see mama grew up right
                        G7                      F                     C
So she'd be fitting one day for courting and to wear some gentleman's ring
                                              F              C
I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
                               G7                 C
People was always laughing and sang a right sweet song
C                                             F              C

I hear he came to town one day in a rusty old '49 Ford
                         G7                C
Selling ladies shoes and assorted greeting cards
                                                F                      C
He was killer good looking and easy to like and turning all the ladies heads
                          G7                     F                  C
But he saw mama first and Lord knows how some of them traveling men are
C                                             F              C

Mama seemed to forget the things that grandma Kate had always told her
                       G7                  C
She ran away one night with that traveling man
                                         F               C
They bought gas at Reba's Truck Stop and drove to Desoto County
                   G7               F        C
But he brought her home with a ring upon her hand
C                                     F                 C
Mama's told me how the fever took him when I was barely five
                               G7              C
But I remember him pitching me up and catching me
                                    F                C
And I love to sit and listen to her tell me about my daddy
                        G7               F               C
She says he thought the sun would surely rise and set in me
C                                             F              C
