Words & Music by Ed Bruce





I wish I'd known the man a little better

That turned my mama on

He must have been a heck of a man

'Cause mama was a lady, don't you know



Mama was no prude, but she was proper

Never wore her dress too short

She didn't care if I did, but she'd have never taken a drink

Grandma Kate did the best she could to see mama grew up right

So she'd be fittin' one day for courtin'

And to wear some gentleman's ring



- Chorus -

I wish I'd known the man a little better

That turned my mama on

They say he was always laughing and sang a right nice song

I wish I'd known the man a little better

That turned my mama on

He must have been a heck of a man

'Cause mama was a lady, don't you know



I hear he came to town one day in a rusty old '49 Ford

Selling ladies shoes and assorted greeting cards

He was killin' good-lookin' and easy to like

And turnin' all the ladies heads

But he saw mama first and you've heard stories

'Bout how some of them travelin' men are



(Repeat Chorus)



Mama seemed to forget the things that Grandma Kate had always told her

She ran away one night with that travelin' man

hey bought gas at Reba's truck stop and drove to DeSoto County

But he brought her home next day, a lady, with a ring upon her hand



Mama told me how the fever took him when I was barely five

But I can remember him pitchin' me up and catchin' me

And I love to sit and listen to her tell me about my Daddy

She says he thought the sun must surely rise and set in me



(Repeat Chorus)

  • After All
    "There's a parking lot where the corner cafe stood
    One of the places we first fell in love
    They've built a waterslide on the bluff by the riverside
    Where we first fumbled our way into love..."
  • Blue Bayou
    "I feel so bad I've got a worried mind I'm so lonesome all the time
    Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
    Saving nickels and saving dimes working till the sun don't shine
    Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou..."
  • Girls, Women And Ladies
    "There was only me and her and him
    The bar was giving last call so I thought I'd move on in
    And I was slick and feeling like a man so I took the stool between 'em
    And ordered one more round for me and her and him..."
  • Give More Than You Take
    "If you wanna keep a love young always show her that you care
    Call her through the day to say you love her always thinking of her
    Give her just a little more love than you take
    If you sometimes seem to hurt her then you mustn't let love die..."

  • Her Sweet Love And The Baby
    "Soft rain kissing the fallen leaves night wind harmonizing with whispering trees
    Of pretty sounds I've heard the sweetest I think maybe
    Is when she sings to the baby
    I look around at riches by which some men measure..."
  • I Know Better
    "I could tell you that it don't hurt you're leavin' me
    And I could say it never really matter the way you've always treated me
    Baby I could lie to you some more and say I won't cry when you walk out back door
    But I know better..."
  • If I Could Just Go Home
    "Oh Lord if I could just go home I'd do things different from now on
    There wouldn't be near the gray in my old daddy's hair
    Oh Lord if I could just go home
    I know it wasn't daddy's fault that mama died when I was just a kid..."
