Now if you love your momma
And try to treat her right
But she keeps on fussing at you
Everyday and night

[Chorus:]
'Cause she's gonna trifle on ya'
They do it every time
And when your baby starts a stepping
Lord you nearly lose you mind

Now if your momma's mean
Take a tip from me
Lock her up at home lord
But hang on to that key

[Chorus]

But if you momma's good
I'll tell you what to do
Give her lots of loving
But watch her closely too

[Chorus]

When you come to your momma
An' find your clothes ain't clean
You can bet your slipping
If you know just what I mean
[Chorus]

Now you may have a momma
That says that she is true
But wait till you are down and out
And really need her too

[Chorus]

Now I've been a lot of places
There's nothing I ain't done
But when it comes to women
I don't trust a one

[Chorus]
