[00:00.0]The Man That Turned My Mama On - Tanya Tucker
[00:05.82]I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
[00:10.41]He must have been a heck of a man
[00:13.27]'Cause mama was a lady don't you now
[00:16.26]Mama was no prude but she was proper
[00:18.88]Never wore her dress too short
[00:21.42]She didn't care if you did
[00:23.23]But she'd never taken a drink
[00:27.22]Grandma Kate did the best she could
[00:29.69]To see mama grew up right
[00:32.37]So she'd be fittin' one day for courtin'
[00:34.47]And to wear some gentleman's ring
[00:39.07]I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
[00:44.12]He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song
[00:49.83]I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
[00:54.69]He must have been a heck of a man
[00:57.73]'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
[01:00.16]I hear he came to town one day
[01:02.9]In a rusty old '49 Ford
[01:05.47]Sellin' ladies shoes
[01:06.77]And assorted greeting cards
[01:10.82]He was killin' good lookin' and easy to like
[01:13.57]And turnin' all the ladies heads
[01:15.94]But he saw mama first
[01:17.3]And Lord knows how some of them travelin' men are
[01:23.19]I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
[01:28.29]He was always laughing and sang a right sweet song

[01:38.380005]He must have been a heck of a man
[01:40.61]'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
[01:42.29]Mama seemed to forget the things
[01:46.17]That grandma Kate had always told her
[01:49.770004]She ran away one night
[01:51.45]With that traveling man
[01:54.68]They bought gas at Reba's Truck Stop
[01:56.79]And drove to Deseto County
[02:00.09]But he brought her home
[02:01.4]With a ring upon her hand
[02:05.38]Mama's told me how the fever took him
[02:08.73]When I was barely five
[02:10.72]But I remember him pitchin' me up
[02:13.01]And catchin' me
[02:14.01]And I love to sit and listen to her
[02:18.92]Tell me about my daddy
[02:21.6]She says she thought
[02:23.20999]The sun must surely rise and set in me
[02:27.09]I wish I'd known the man a little better that turned my mama on
[02:32.92]He must have been a heck of a man
[02:35.41]'Cause mama was a lady don't you know
