Written by Ed Bruce

	  		
C                                             F              C 
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 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 
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 
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 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 
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
