[Am]Never heard nothin' but bad

Momma I'm depending on you
[C]to [Am]tell me the truth
Momma [C]just hung [Am]her head and said, son

Hey [Am]Momma!

And another wife, and that [C]ain't right
[Am]Heard some talk Papa doing some
[C]sto[Am]refront preachin'
Talking about saving [C]souls and all

Dealing in dirt, and stealing [C]in

Spent most of his time [C]chasing
