(She said that she just couldn't leave her mother)
VERSE:
A D
I met a girl out in a town that tore all my resistance down
A E
I thought what a dream this oughta be
A D
I went with her a month or two and like any boy in love will do
A E A
Asked her if she would marry me
CHORUS:
A D A
But she was a mama's baby, mama's baby
A E
Though she loved me like she never loved another
E D A
She was a mama's baby, mama's baby
A E A
And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother
VERSE:
Then I said well then probably the only thing that's left for me
Is to go and come back in a year or so
A year passed away and then I tried to win her hand again
She even packed her clothes but she wouldn't go
CHORUS:
Cause she was a mama's baby, mama's baby
Though she loved me like she never loved another
She was a mama's baby, mama's baby
And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother

VERSE:
Well I hung around till finally I persuaded her to marry me
Her mother said that it would be all right
We bought ourselves a little home and I finally got her off alone
But she stays with her mother every night
CHORUS:
Cause she was a mama's baby, mama's baby
Though she loved me like she never loved another
She was a mama's baby, mama's baby
And she said that she just couldn't leave her mother
TAG:
A E A
Well she said that she just couldn't leave (leave, leave, leave her mother)
