C F C Late last night when my Willie come home G7 and I heard this mighty rapping on the door C F C Slipping and a sliding with his new shoes on G7 C Willie don't you rap no more
Chorus C F C Oh me, oh my G7 What's going to become of me C F C I's downtown, just a fooling around G7 C Mama don't you cry for me
I know just what you promised me Not more than three weeks ago You promised that you'd marry me Standing there on your mama's kitchen floor
(chorus)
Now if I'd listened to what my mama said I wouldn't be sitting here tonight Picking and a singing on this old banjo Mama don't you cry for me
