I love this tune.  Sounds great with a buddy playing harp to it try it out!
Mama And Them
By David Lee Murphy
EThere's a rusty ole tin roof overhead
AThat keeps out the rain at night
EA lazy ole dog lying under the truck
BAnd he's been known to bite
EThere's a 12 gauge shotgun over the door
ASo darlin don't be surprised
EIf we end up staring down a douAble barrel
BWhen we pull up the Edrive
[Chorus]
AMama and them have always lived
EWay back up in the hills
ENothings ever changed em
BLord nothing ever will
EIf they don't shoot first
BThe'll ask us in
EAnd treat you just like
ALong lost kin
EHoney your gonna fit right Bin
EWith mama and them
EBetter honk the horn just to let'em know
AThey don't get much company
EAnd they won't believe this big cadillac
BReally belongs to me
EIf you ain't sure yet just what to expect
A>From my side of the family
EWell you better duck till they knoAw its us
BI can't make no guaraEntee

Mama And Them

By David Lee Murphy

There's a rusty ole tin roof overhead

That keeps out the rain at night

A lazy ole dog lying under the truck

And he's been known to bite

There's a 12 gauge shotgun over the door

So darlin don't be surprised

E A

If we end up staring down a double barrel

B E

When we pull up the drive

[Chorus]

Mama and them have always lived

Way back up in the hills

Nothings ever changed em

Lord nothing ever will

If they don't shoot first

The'll ask us in

And treat you just like

Long lost kin

E B

Honey your gonna fit right in

With mama and them

Better honk the horn just to let'em know

They don't get much company

And they won't believe this big cadillac

Really belongs to me

If you ain't sure yet just what to expect

>From my side of the family

E A

Well you better duck till they know its us

B E

I can't make no guarantee
