My Mama told me   
G           Am  
When I was    young

Come sit beside me  
G        Am  
My only    son  
           C       
And listen closely   
G          Am  
To what I    say  
           C               G  
And if you do this it will help you   
     Am  
Some    sunny day  

          C    
Take your time  
G              Am  
Don't live too fast  
              C     
Troubles will come   
G              Am  
And they will    pass  
          C          
Go find a woman and
