Lyrics for Song: The Man That Turned My Mama On
Lyrics for Album: Upper 48 Hits 1972-97 [2002]



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



Chorus:

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



Chorus



Mama seemed to forget the things

that Grandma Kate had always told her

she ran away one night with a traveling man

they bought gas at Rita's truck stop

and drove to Dasota County

but he brought her home with a ring upon her hand

mama's told me how the fever took him

when I was barely 5

but I remember him pitchin' me up

and catchin' me

and I love to sit and listen to her

tell me about my daddy

she says he thought the sun would surely

rise and set in me



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

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
