My Mama Told Me (Not to Play the Guitar)
My mama told me not to play the guitar
Stuck in a bottle-neck you won't get far
Hanging 'round with your sleeping-in friends
Elegant women, here I go again
My mama told me, early to bed
Early to rise is what she said
My mama told me not to play the six-string
My mama told me but here I go again
My mama told me, go to church when I'm able
And not to bed a woman of sin
My mama told me not to gamble at the table
Daddy said I gotta win, win, win, win
My mama told me not to play the guitar
See the world but you won't get far
Hanging 'round with your pool hall friends
Loose women, aah, here I go again
Stuck in a bottle-neck you won't get far
Hanging 'round with your sleeping-in friends
Elegant women, here I go again
My mama told me, early to bed
Early to rise is what she said
My mama told me not to play the six-string
My mama told me but here I go again
My mama told me, go to church when I'm able
And not to bed a woman of sin
My mama told me not to gamble at the table
Daddy said I gotta win, win, win, win
My mama told me not to play the guitar
See the world but you won't get far
Hanging 'round with your pool hall friends
Loose women, aah, here I go again
