I wish i'd known the man a little better That turned my momma on He must have been a heck of a man Cause momma was a lady don't you know Momma was no prude but she was proper Never wore her dress to short She didn't care if you did But she'd of never taken a drank Grandma kate did the best she could To see momma grew up right So she'd be fittin one day for courtin And to wear some gentleman's ring I wish i'd known the man a little better That turned my momma on He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song I wish i'd known the man a little better that turned my moma on He must have been a heck of a man Cause momma was a lady don't you know I hear he came to town one day In a rusty old 49 ford Selling ladies shoes and assorted greeting cards He was killer good looking and easy to like And turning all the ladies heads Letras de cancionesBut he saw momma first and lord knows How some of them travelin men are I wish i'd known the man a little better That turned my momma on He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song I wish i'd known the man a little better that turned my momma on He must have been a heck of a man Cause momma was a lady don't you know Momma seemed to forget the thangs that Grandma kate had always told her She ran away one night with a travlin man They bought gas at rita's truck stop And drove to desoto county But he brought her home with a ring Upon her hand Momma's told me how the fever took him When i was barely 5 But i remember him pitching me up And catching me And i love to sit and listen to her Tell me about my daddy She says he thought the sun must surely Rise and set with me I wish i'd known the man a little better that turned my momma on He must have been a heck of a man Cause momma was a lady don't you know I wish i'd known the man a little better that turned my momma on He must have been a heck of a man Cause momma was a lady don't you know (Thanks to Georgie for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
