DWhen I was 6 or 7
Mama tucked me Ain
With a lDullaby and it
Made my eyes open wide Aagain
I would lGie awake and wonder
Why a bDoy named Billy JGoel
Jumped oDff the Tallahatchee Bridge
To the rAiver far below
[Chorus]
GBlame it on mama
And the soDngs she loved to sing
I'm nGot from Louisiana but tDhat don't mean a thing
Don't comGe from Alabama oDr a hill from Tennessee
Just blamCe it on mama, she sang (she sang)
The country Dinto me
DI just loved to listen
As she'd sing those story sonAgs
'Bout a cDoat of many colors
Or a girl named Delta DAawn
When the Glights went out in Georgia
I would bDeg for just one mGore
DAll about Fancy and the pretty red satin 
ADancing dress she wore
[Chorus]
GI'm a coal miner's daDughter
GLovin my preacher's sDon
I have waGlked the streets of La DReto
Stared down the bAarrel of a law man's gun
GI've grown roots and I'vDe got claims
GTo places I've never bDeen
GAnd when I sing those soDngs it takes me
ARight back home again
D
[Chorus]
The Dcountry into me, yeah

[Intro]

When I was 6 or 7

Mama tucked me in

With a lullaby and it

Made my eyes open wide again

I would lie awake and wonder

D G

Why a boy named Billy Joel

Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge

To the river far below

[Chorus]

Blame it on mama

And the songs she loved to sing

G D

I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing

G D

Don't come from Alabama or a hill from Tennessee

Just blame it on mama, she sang (she sang)

The country into me

I just loved to listen

As she'd sing those story songs

'Bout a coat of many colors

Or a girl named Delta Dawn

When the lights went out in Georgia

D G

I would beg for just one more

All about Fancy and the pretty red satin

Dancing dress she wore

[Chorus]

G D

I'm a coal miner's daughter

G D

Lovin my preacher's son

G D

I have walked the streets of La Reto

Stared down the barrel of a law man's gun

G D

I've grown roots and I've got claims

G D

To places I've never been

G D

And when I sing those songs it takes me

Right back home again

[Chorus]

The country into me, yeah
