[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]My mama laid the law down to me
This morning again I didn't
feel like listening
From the shape my head was in
[G]She said I had to stop
my howling around
Quit trying to drink up
everything there was in town
my [D]mama didn't stop
till [Eb]I was dow[D]n on my kn[A]ees[D]
this morning my mama laid the
law [A]down to [D]me[A][D][A][D]
My mama said I had a dirty
two -timing look
The things my baby call me,
well, they sure ain't in the book
[G]I didn't try to stop her,
I didn't think I could
The way she got me down,
[D]I'm [G]strictly [D]no [G]good
[D]Drunk here all night,
I've got to watch my step, siree
This mornin' my momma's late
to [A]fall down to [D]me
I [A]don't[D]
[A]thi[D]nk
she trusts me at all
from her talking plan
She's nine foot forty -five
in case I [A]didn't un[D]derstand
And [G]it did but so about the
things she had heard
Well, I believe that Mama
mine's a man of her word
An[D]d I'm too young to die now
Yes, that's plain to see
This mornin' my mama's
playin' [A]ball down to [D]me you
