Mama,
I finally found a girl for me
She's as fine as she can be
And I've only known her for a week,
it's true
But I'm glad that I waited
like you told me to
Mama, I know she'll always be
Mama,
Mama,
Mama
She takes my money all the time
She says she's saving every dime
And she ain't jiving me, I know
She really, really loves me
Cause she told me so
Mama, what's a
woman's truth?
Well, I love her, she loves me
We ain't got much money, it's true
We're gonna need a whole lot of help,
I know I can depend on you, you, you, you, mama
Yes I did now, I found someone that's
true
Oh, I love her and she loves me
We ain't got much money, it's true
We're gonna need a whole lot of help
I know I can depend on you, mama
She wants to live somewhere
else
Somewhere we can be by ourselves
Ah, but she's the girl that
you wanted me to find
So we'll live it with you
I know you don't mind
Come on now, mama, let me run it down
Tell you all about this girl I found
She's alright, she ain't nothin' wrong
I know that you two are gonna get along
So come on and be happy,
don't you know your honor?
You ain't losin' a son,
you're just gainin' a daughter
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better come on
