The Man That Turned My Momma On lyrics

I wish I'd known the man a little better
That turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'cause mama was a lady don't you know

Mama was no prude but she was proper
Never wore her dress too short
She didn't care if you did
But she'd have never taken a drink
Grandma Kate did the best she could
To see mama 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 mama on
He was always laughing
And singing the right sweet song
I wish I'd known the man a little better
The turned my mama on
He must have been a heck of a man
'Cause mama was a lady don't you know

I hear he came to town one day
In a rusty old '49 Ford
Selling lady's shoes and assorted greeting cards
He was killing good looking
And easy to like
And turning all the ladies' heads
But he saw mama first
And Lord knows how some of them travelin men are
