He got here and wrinkled scared and cryin' 
        C                               G 
The she took him up and held him to her breast 
       C                G        C    F 
And he sure was glad to get what mama offered 
        C                 G                C 
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest

It didn't seem to matter what he needed 
C                                G 
He could always count on mama to supply 
    C                 G         C        F 
And regardless of the sleep she might be losin' 
   C              G              C 
He always found a twinkle in her eye

She taught him all the attributes of greatness

    C                        G         C   F 
And by the time she wore the coxer off her bible 
    C                     G              C 
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone
