  			Well I'm D sittin' here drinkin' over A mama. 
Well I just can't believe that she is D gone. 
But I never did think mama would G leave us, 
to D fend for our{A}selves on our D own. 
 
D Well now paw, he can't hardly under{A}stand it, 
'cause he never did treat our mama D wrong. 
But I guess that mama never G told him 
she started D smokin' crack  
at the A age of sixty D one. (let ring) 
 
(Double-time) 
 
And it's been G years, since we've seen our D mama 
even D though I heard some stories about her A nights. 
And D poor LJ, the sheriff, G told us, 
that D mama got killed A by her damn crack D pipe. 
 
(Instrumental break) 
G D  
D A D  
D G  
D A D  
 
Well I'm D gonna have to find paw a good A woman, 
cause he's startin' to look just like a bag of D bones. 
She's gonna have to clean all those G shotguns 
and D skin those A critters we bring D home. 
 
And it's been G years, since we've seen our D mama 
even D though I heard some stories about her A nights. 
And D poor LJ, the sheriff, G told us, 
that D mama got killed A by her damn crack D pipe. 
 
Yeah D mama got killed A by her damn crack D pipe.
