[G] That's the sweetest little dress Sally, where'd you get the pattern?
Made me one just like it out of yellow dotted Swiss.
[Fm] [G] Yes I guess we got the earliest garden in the county,
Been eating strawberries all week, it's [A] nothing we mean.
Don't you ever [G] leave too bad about your boy.
[Fm] [G] Mama make Willie quit pulling at my hair, Mama ouch ouch, Mama just make Willie quit it.
Tommy if you don't put [G] down that stick, I'm gonna wear you out with it boy, be quick.
Come quick Sammy Jean stuck a finger in the crock, Mama can't get it out cause it's stuck stuck stuck.
I told you my Mama didn't raise no fools, I can do anything if [G] I got the right tools.
Mama can I huh, Mama can I huh huh, can I Mama won't you please [F] let me, Mama [G] can I huh?
The crock's been filling [F] up, the show [G] is dry, you'd think that you'd get a sprinkle by and by.
Gonna tear you up girl, gonna get a switch, you better tell her you're a cuss little Sally, that you hit her.
If I told you once, it's been a thousand times, but ask your uncles [F] for a nickels [G] and dime.
Mama make Willie quit [F] pulling [G] at my hair, Mama just make Willie quit it.

Did it again, put a finger in the coke, Mama can't get it out cause it's stuck stuck stuck.
Aw, real head [C] cold, that's all you had, [G] you fixed it right up with a jar of excess.
It's the first time ever that the family's been together, it's so nice that we all get along so well.
You just got the money, you'd think you'd try to do something for his Mama before she died.
Now I don't mean to criticize your cooking, no I don't, but I think that you could add a little bit of pepper.
I told you my Mama didn't raise no fools, I can do anything if I got the right tools.
Why yes, I guess.
And don't you look nice in your Sunday dress.
Look at you, silly little vest you're in, see that you just don't know no better.
Mama can't a-hum, Mama can't a-hum, Mama won't you please let me, Mama, Mama can't a-hum.
