As a young boy my mama used to make me walk the line, 
C                              G 
even then as now, women were a weakness of mine, 
C 
in grade school I was a mess,  
    D 
just pulling up some little girls dress, 
C 
teacher send me home from school..."what a witch", 
           D 
mama'd say...bad boy go get me that switch 

G 
Mama you can't give me no whippin' 
         C 
just for staying out all night 
G 
Mama you can't give me no whippin' 
    C                  D 
I'm old enough to know wrong from right 
G 
Mama you can't turn me over your knees 
       C               D 
it's embarrassing to a man like me 
C                 D                        G 
Mama I think that I got something that the girls like 
C              D                             G 
Mama I think I might have something that the girls like
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
C 
I must have been about 13 
          G 
when this feeling came over me 
C 
started to learning how to talk the girls 
G 
out of their virginity 
C 
I'd sneak'em out in the light of the moon 
D 
slip'em up into my bedroom 
C 
Mama catch us there without a stitch 
           D 
she'd say.... bad boy, go get me that switch 
 
 
Back to chorus:.......... 
 
......................... 
 
 
Verse 3: 
 
C                         G 
I remember celebrating my 18th birthday 
C 
I started out on the town in the evening 
      G 
and I heard Mama scream... boy don't you be late 
C                       
well I rolled in about four A.M. 
       D 
didn't know where I was, and where I'd been 
C 
there stood Mama with a belt in her hand 
        D 
I said,... Hey Mama, your boy's a man 
 
 
Back to chorus again... 2 times, fading out on the second
