To The Other Man - 2004 Digital Remaster
Hey Mama
Mama used to take me across her lap
She used to hit me with a trap
When I was bad.
I didn't know at the time
Being bad could lead to crime
But now I'm glad
Well she kept me on the double
I stayed out of trouble
And now I understand
She said son you've got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man
When I used to make fun of others
She'd say no not to your brothers
And that ain't all
When someone is feeling low
Think of the nicest things you know
To make them feel tall
I never forget what mama said
When she kneel down and pray
For the Father's guiding hand
Throw your arms around his neck
Make him proud to give respect to the other man
Oh now that I'm a man
God has taken my mother's hand
And now I'm carrying on
Oh sometimes I'll have to weep
Mother's love I'll always keep
Cause she made me strong
And if should ever have a son
We gonna have lots of fun
And I'll teach him to understand
She said son you got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man
Mama used to take me across her lap
She used to hit me with a trap
When I was bad.
I didn't know at the time
Being bad could lead to crime
But now I'm glad
Well she kept me on the double
I stayed out of trouble
And now I understand
She said son you've got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man
When I used to make fun of others
She'd say no not to your brothers
And that ain't all
When someone is feeling low
Think of the nicest things you know
To make them feel tall
I never forget what mama said
When she kneel down and pray
For the Father's guiding hand
Throw your arms around his neck
Make him proud to give respect to the other man
Oh now that I'm a man
God has taken my mother's hand
And now I'm carrying on
Oh sometimes I'll have to weep
Mother's love I'll always keep
Cause she made me strong
And if should ever have a son
We gonna have lots of fun
And I'll teach him to understand
She said son you got to give a heck
Promise you'll always give respect to the other man
