Born in a log cabin in the back woods, the back woods of mississippi, she drank moonshine, chewed tobacco, raised 16 children all by herself, never looked much like a lady you see mama ruined her body raisin her babies.spend her evenings sitting in a rockin chair never had much o nothin but was always willin to share .talking bout ma ,talkin bout ma. yeah yeah yeah, talking bout ma, talkin bout maaaa. every once in awhile when ma would get depressed, shed go to the cabnit and get paws guitar ,sit herself down in the rockin chair start strummin and hummin ha ha yeah, that was ma"s way of lettin off steam in plan old english
You could see that ma was doin her thing. every once in
Awhile she,d shout,"let it all hang out"! ooow talkin bout
Ma, talking bout ma yeah yeah yeah talking bout ma talking bout maaaaaaaa
