Only Mama That'll Walk The Line Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Won't you tell me if you can what's the matter with a man 

When he starts stayin' out all night 

Should he hit him in the head with a pen or cornbread 

A tellin' honey baby that's alright 

Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl 

He thought he was the only man in this whole world 

But now he bettter do some thinkin' then he'll find 

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line 

[ guitar ] 

I'm workin' every day all he wants do is play I'm tired of him leavin' me alone 

I'm comin' unglued from his funny little moods 

When he finally thinks I drag him back home 

Cause ever since I was... 

[ guitar ] 

I keep a packin' up my clothes but everybody knows 

That I'm really just a puttin' you on 

When I start a walkin' gonna that's when you start a squawkin' 

And a beggin' me to come back home 

Cause ever since I was...
