The Man That Turned My Mama On

In the style of

Tanya Tucker

Lyrics

i wish
i'd known the man
a little better that
turned my mama on

he musta been
a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady
don't you know

mama was no prude
but she was proper
never wore her dress
too short
she didn't care
if you did
but she'd have never
taken a drink

grandma kate
did the best she could
to see mama
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 mama on
he was
always laughin'
and sang
a right sweet song

i wish
i'd known the man
a little better that
turned my mama on
musta been
a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady
don't you know

i hear he came to town
one day
in a rusty old '49 ford
sellin' ladies' shoes
and assorted
greeting cards

he was killin'
good-lookin'
and easy to like
and turnin'
all the ladies' heads

but he saw mama first
and lord knows
how some of them
travelin' men are

i wish
i'd known the man
a little better that
turned my mama on
he was
always laughin'
and sang
a right sweet song

i wish
i'd known the man
a little better that
turned my mama on
he musta been
a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady
don't you know

mama seemed
to forget the things
that grandma kate
had always told her
she ran away
one night
with a travelin' 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

mama's told me
how the fever
took him
when i was barely five
but i remember him
pitchin' me up
and catchin' 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 in me

i wish
i'd known the man
a little better that
turned my mama on
he musta been
a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady
don't you know

i wish
i'd known the man
a little better that
turned my mama on
he musta been
a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady
don't you know
