[Verse 1]
[G]When I became [C]of age my mother

[A]She said,"Son, you're growing up now
[D]pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she [G]said, "Just because you've
be[C]come a young man [G]now,
There's still something[C]s that
you don't understand now,
[G]Before you ask some gir[C]l
for her hand [G]now
Keep your freedom for as
[C]long as you can now."
