Lyrics and translation Jerry Jeff Walker - Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother

Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother

He was born in Oklahoma
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Sure does like his Falstaff beer
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck
He's got a gun rack"Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Well
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK

Up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell

He's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Contre le mur, maman campagnarde

Je suis né dans l'Oklahoma
Ma femme s'appelle Betty Lou Thelma Liz
Et je ne suis pas responsable de mes actes
Parce que ma mère m'a fait ce que je suis

Contre le mur, maman campagnarde
Maman, qui a si bien élevé son fils
Il a trente-quatre ans et boit dans un bar
Il se contente de botter le cul des hippies et de faire des bêtises

Il aime sa bière Falstaff
Il aime l'accompagner de ce whisky Wild Turkey
Il conduit un pick-up GMC de 57
Il a un porte-fusils et un autocollant "Les cow-boys de corde ont besoin d'amour aussi"

Contre le mur, maman campagnarde
Maman, qui a si bien élevé son fils
Il a trente-quatre ans et boit dans un bar
Il se contente de botter le cul des hippies et de faire des bêtises

Bon
M pour les garde-boue que tu me donnes pour mon pick-up
O pour l'huile que je mets sur mes cheveux
T pour T-bird
H pour Haggard
E pour les œufs, et
R pour CAMPAGNARD

Contre le mur, maman campagnarde
Maman, qui a si bien élevé son fils
Il a trente-quatre ans et boit dans un bar
Il botte le cul des hippies et fait des bêtises

Il est contre le mur, maman campagnarde
Maman, qui a si bien élevé son fils
Il a trente-quatre ans et boit dans un bar
Il se contente de botter le cul des hippies et de faire des bêtises
