The Man That Turned My Mama On - Ed Bruce

I wish I'd known the man

A little better that turned my mama on

He must have 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 of 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

Wish I'd known the man a little

Better that turned my mama on

He must have 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 you

Her story by a have some dry little on

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 must have 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 the 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 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 must have 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 must have been a heck

Of a man 'cause mama was a lady don't you know
