"Only Mama That'll Walk The Line" lyrics

Only Mama That'll Walk The Line

Well everybody knows
You been stepping on my toes
And I'm getting pretty tired of it
I'm gonna hit you on the head
With a pan of cornbread
If you had any sense you'd quit

Cause ever since I was
A little bitty teeny girl
I said you were the only man
In this whole world
So now you'd better do
Some thinking then you'll find
You got the only mama
That'll walk the line

Well I'm a-working every day
All you wanna do is play
I'm getting tired
Of staying home all night
Well I'm a-coming unglued
From your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right

Cause ever since I was
A little bitty teeny girl
I said you were the only man
In this whole world
So now you'd better do
Some thinking then you'll find
You got the only mama
That'll walk the line

Well I'm a-packing up my clothes
Nearly everybody knows
That you're still just a-putting me on
And when I start a-walking
Gonna hear you start a-squawking
And a-begging me to come back home

Cause ever since I was
A little bitty teeny girl
I said you were the only man
In this whole world
So now you'd better do
Some thinking then you'll find
You got the only mama
That'll walk the line

You got the only mama
That'll walk the line
You got the only mama
That'll walk the line
