I wish IC'd known the man a Bblittle better that turnedF my mama on C
He must have been a Check of a man cause Gmama was a lady don't you Fknow
CMama was no prude but she was proper never Fwore her dress too Cshort
She didn't Ccare if you did but Gshe'd never taken a Cdrink
CGrandma Kate did the best she could to Fsee mama grew up Cright
So Cshe'd be fittin' one Gday for courtin' and to Fwear some gentleman's Cring
I Cwish I'd known the Bbman a little better that Fturned my mama Con
He was Calways laughing and Gsang a right sweet Csong
I Cwish I'd known the Bbman a little better that Fturned my mama Con
He must have been a Check of a man cause Gmama was a lady don't you Fknow
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-looking' and easy to like and turnin' all the ladies heads
But he saw mama first and Lord knows how some of them travelin' men are
Mama seemed to forget the things that Grandma Kate had always told her
She ran away one night with that traveling man
They bought gas at Reba'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 she thought the sun must surely rise and set in me
