Papa Loved Mama

E7
Papa drove a truck nearly all his 
life
            A7
You know it drove mama crazy being a
 trucker's wife
    B7
The part she couldn't handle was the
 being alone
            C                      
I guess she needed more to hold 
         B7
than just a telephone
E7
Papa called mama each & every night
        A7
Just to ask her how she was & if us 
kids were alright
 B7
Mama would wait for that call to 
come in

            C                    
But when daddy'd hang up she was 
B7         E7
gone again

chorus.... #1   A7
                Mama was a looker 
Lord how she shined
                  E7
                Papa was a good'n 
but the jealous kind
                  A7
                Papa loved mama, 
mama loved men
                 Em          
                Mama's in the 
            B7           E7
graveyard papa's in the pen


Well it was bound to happen & one 
night it did
Papa came home & it was just us kids
He had a dozen roses & a bottle of 
wine
If he was looking to surprise us he 
was doing fine
I heard him cry for mama up & down 
the hall
Then I heard a bottle break against 
the bedroom wall
That old diesel engine made an eerie
 sound
When papa fired it up & headed into 
town

chorus... #2    Well the picture in 
teh paper showed the scene real well
                Papa's rig was 
buried in the local Motel
                The desk clerk said 
he saw it all real clear
                He never hit the 
breaks & he was shifting gears
chorus... #1.....
Em                      B7
