[Chorus 1]
My mama
She done told me
Son, you'll be a man
And when you find your own woman
You got to love her the best that you can

[Verse 1]
Well, if you give your love to somebody
Make sure they don't use you up
And if you get your love in return
Make sure you fill the loving cup
Oh, yeah
Uh-huh
La-de-ay

[Chorus 2]
Well, I'm going to the country
Mama, don't you want to go
The sun's going to shine in our back door
I know

[Chorus 1]
Mama
She done told me
Lord, you going to be a man
And when you find your own woman
Got to hold to her the best that you can
[Chorus 2]
I'm going to the country
Baby, don't you want to go
The sun's gonna shine in our back door
And I know

[Outro]
To fill the loving cup
Fill the loving cup
Fill the loving cup
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
