What My Mama Told Me

Lord I should have been did what my Mama told me to
 Lord I should have been did what my Mama told me to
 Then I would not have to work
 and I wouldn't have to sing the blues
 Just like the old folks say
 You gotta reap just what you sow
 Just like old folks say
 You gotta reap just what you sow
 Lord a disobedient child he would just don't live too long
 Let me get something
 Harmonica solo
 Oh everybody wanna know, Lord what does a poor boy do?
 Oh everybody wants to know what does a poor boy do?
 A poor boy sews patches on his clothes
 and stuffs newspapers in his shoes Ah ha Let me do it again
 Harmonica solo
 Oh I should have been did just like my Mama tole me to
 Oh I should have been did just like my Mama tole me to
 Then I would not have to work and I would not have to sing the blues
 Hey everybody wanna know what does a poor boy do?
 Oh everybody wanna know what does a poor boy do?
 A poor boy sews patches on his clothes
 stuffs newspaper Lord, in his shoes Let's go home
 Harmonica solo
 Ah ha
