My mama told me not to play the guitar   Stuck in a bottle neck you won't get far   Hanging around 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 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 never live a moment 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 around with your pool hall friends   Loose women aah here I go again
