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 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
