My mama
She done told me
Soon you be a man
And when you find your own woman
You got to love her the best that you can

Well, if you give your love to somebody
Make sure they don't use you up
And if you get your love in return
Make sure you fill the lovin' cup

Oh, yeah
Uh-huh
La-de-ay

Well, i'm goin' to the country
Mama, don't you want to go
The sun's gonna shine in our back door
I know

Mama
She done told me
Lord, you gonna be a man
And when you find your own woman
Gotta hold to her the best that you can

I'm goin' to the country
Baby don't you want to go
The sun's gonna shine in our back door
And i know

To fill the lovin' cup
Fill the lovin' cup
Fill the lovin' cup
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
