      [Intro]
G G G    G G G    G G G    G G G   C

[Verse 1]
C                              G                       
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus] (x2)
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
