Verse 1
(G major) (F sharp major) Well, Mama caught Papa
(G major) just as slick as any man was (D major) ever caught
Yeah, when she got through,
I guess the old boy knew she was (G major) boss
She said, Paul,
you gotta straighten up a buddy,
I'm -a gonna wear (C major) the pants
Old (G major) Papa's tryin', he's a (D major) man,
and I don't think he (G major) can (D major)
There's been something (G major) wrong
with a man ever since the begin (D major) ning
He keeps on a -losin',
that's why he's never ever win (G major) nin'
Well, he wants him a sweet
thing for his wife
But then he (C major) keeps on a -lookin'
for the rest of his life
And (G major) that's how Mama caught Papa
(D major) just as slick as she was (G major) ever caught (D major)
Mama put on (G major) a wig and she danced
a little jig down the (D major) sound floor
She got a wink from his eye
and all had a smile on his face (G major)
He got to actin' right smart (D major)
(G major) and a jumpin' right silly
He (C major) didn't know more,
he thought he found a new filly
And that's (G major) how Mama called Papa
(D major) just as slick as he was (G major) ever
thought (C major) (G major) (D major)
Well, a preacher got (G major) upset,
a man in hell's been a (D major) -flirtin'
He'd pass the plate if
he don't put in five,
it'd be a (G major) hurtin'
There must have been doubt
with the N .I. crowd
because the (C major) truth they did reveal
Cause when the (G major) plate got back
he counted forty (D major) -nine five
dollar (G major) bills (C major) (G major) (D major)
That's (G major) how mama caught papa
just as slick as he was (D major) ever caught
She got through,
I think the old boy knew she was (G major) caught
Well, she said, Paul,
you gotta straighten up, buddy,
I'm -a (C major) gonna wear the pants
Well, I (G major) keep trying, I'm a (D major) man
and I don't think I (G major) can (C major)
