Lyrics The Man That Turned My Mama On - Tanya Tucker
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
That
turned
my
mama
on
He
must
have
been
a
heck
of
a
man
'Cause
mama
was
a
lady
don't
you
know
Mama
was
no
prude
but
she
was
proper
Never
wore
her
dress
too
short
She
didn't
care
if
you
did
But
she'd
have
never
taken
a
drink
Grandma
Kate
did
the
best
she
could
To
see
mama
grew
up
right
So
she'd
be
fittin'
one
day
for
courtin'
And
to
wear
some
gentleman's
ring
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
That
turned
my
mama
on
He
was
always
laughing
And
singing
the
right
sweet
song
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
The
turned
my
mama
on
He
must
have
been
a
heck
of
a
man
'Cause
mama
was
a
lady
don't
you
know
I
hear
he
came
to
town
one
day
In
a
rusty
old
'49
Ford
Selling
lady's
shoes
and
assorted
greeting
cards
He
was
killing
good
looking
And
easy
to
like
And
turning
all
the
ladies'
heads
But
he
saw
mama
first
And
Lord
knows
how
some
of
them
travelin
men
are
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
That
turned
my
mama
on
He
was
always
laughing
And
singing
the
right
sweet
song
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
The
turned
my
mama
on
He
must
have
been
a
heck
of
a
man
'Cause
mama
was
a
lady
don't
you
know
Mama
seemed
to
forget
the
things
That
Grandma
Kate
had
always
told
her
She
ran
away
one
night
with
a
traveling
man
They
bought
gas
at
Rita's
truck
stop
And
drove
to
Dasota
County
But
he
brought
her
home
with
a
ring
upon
her
hand
Mama's
told
me
how
the
fever
took
him
When
I
was
barely
5
But
I
remember
him
pitchin'
me
up
And
catchin'
me
And
I
love
to
sit
and
listen
to
her
Tell
me
about
my
daddy
She
says
he
thought
the
sun
would
surely
Rise
and
set
in
me
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
That
turned
my
mama
on
He
must
have
been
a
heck
of
a
man
'Cause
mama
was
a
lady
don't
you
know
I
wish
I'd
known
the
man
a
little
better
The
turned
my
mama
on
He
must
have
been
a
heck
of
a
man
'Cause
mama
was
a
lady
don't
you
know
