men: did your Mama tell you this when you were young?

[wildhorses]

Mama told me, when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Ohh take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
And maybe some day you'll love and understand.
Baby be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

My mama told me, son,
Always be a good boy

But I shot a man in reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle
I hang my head and cry
Well I bet there’s rich folks eating
In a fancy dinin’ car

[Ptah]

25. OK, I'm going to get sappy and pretensious here, but:

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin' until then.

Who cares about the clouds when we'ere together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you,
Til we meet again

[wildhorses]

"Blues in the Night"

My mama done tol' me,
when I was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, "Son,
a woman'll sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye,
but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face,
A worrisome thing
who'll leave ya to sing
the blues in the night...

[Deep13]

33. When I was a young man, my mooma told me, "Son, ...

Mama used to say "Live your life"

[ET Awful]

36. Nah, she just said . . . That ain't the way to have fun son.

Want some whiskey in your water, sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're asking me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see!

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no
Uh-uh

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking, it's scared me half to death!
Open up the window some more, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor!
I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is, I don't want to see no more!

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come, she said
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
Listen to me
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
