       G 
I was raised on the west side shanty town  
 
I didn't get up until the sun went down 
            C 
When your back's against the wall, you better get tough 
                            N.C. 
You learn real quick how to swing and duck 
 
      C 
I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine 
G 
Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine 
        D 
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school 
N.C.          
My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, that's right
 
 
 
RIFF 
 
 
G 
Some folks cheat and some folks lie 
 
But I can judge a man by the look in his eye 
C 
Don't hand by Jack and try to call it cola 
                                  N.C. 
I can tell the difference between shit and shinola

G C G C                    G      
         I'm talkin' 'bout mama 
G C G C           D 
         Oh sweet mama 
 
G 
Mama was no angel but she taught me right from wrong 
 
She knew every single word and every note of every song 
     C 
She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice 
     
If it makes you feel good do it, don't think twice
