C                               F 
When I became of age, my mother called me to her side.  
           D 
She said, "Son, you're growing up now, 
       G7  
pretty soon you'll take a bride."  

#1. 
G7           C                          F 
And then she said...Just because you've become a  

young man, now. 
C                                  F 
There's still some things that you don't  

understand, now.  
C                   F 
Before you ask some girl for her hand, now. 
C                        F  
Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now.

My mama told me..You better shop around.

There's some things that I want you to know, now. 
C                   F 
Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow, now.  
C                      F 
The women come and the women gonna go, now. 
C                            F  
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so, now.

My mama told me..You better shop around.  
  
Chorus: 
F 
Don't try to get yourself a bargain, son. 
C  
Don't be sold on the very first one.  
F 
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen,  
D                               G7 
try to find you one who's gonna give you true lovin'.  

#3. 
C                          F 
Before you take a girl and say, 'I do.' now.

Make sure she's in love with you, now. 
C                  F 
Make sure that her love is true, now.

I'd hate to see you feelin' sad and blue, now.

OUTRO:

Uh-huh, before you let her take your hand, my son,

Understand, my son...be a man, my son.  
           C 
I know you can, my son...(fade)
