Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Only Mama That'll Walk the Line
Lyrics for Album: Seven Lonely Days [1969]



(Ivy J. Bryant)



Won't you tell me if you can what's the matter with a man

When he starts stayin' out all night

Should he hit him in the head with a pen or cornbread

A tellin' honey baby that's alright.



'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl

He thought he was the only man in this whole world

But now he bettter do some thinkin' then he'll find

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm workin' every day all he wants do is play

I'm tired of him leavin' me alone

I'm comin' unglued from his funny little moods

When he finally thinks I drag him back home.



'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl

He thought he was the only man in this whole world

But now he bettter do some thinkin' then he'll find

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line.



--- Instrumental ---



I keep a packin' up my clothes but everybody knows

That I'm really just a puttin' you on

When I start a walkin' that's when you start a squawkin'

And a beggin' me to come back home.



'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl

He thought he was the only man in this whole world

But now he bettter do some thinkin' then he'll find

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line...
