Mama And Them
By David Lee Murphy
E
There's a rusty ole tin roof overhead
          A
That keeps out the rain at night
     E
A lazy ole dog lying under the truck
       B
And he's been known to bite
               E 
There's a 12 gauge shotgun over the door
        A
So darlin don't be surprised
          E                              A
If we end up staring down a double barrel
           B                   E  
When we pull up the drive
Chorus:
  A
Mama and them have always lived 
  E   
Way back up in the hills
A
Nothings ever changed em 
           B
Lord nothing ever will
            E
If they don't shoot first 
         B
The'll ask us in 
         E
And treat you just like 
  A
Long lost kin
E                         B   
Honey your gonna fit right in
          E
With mama and them
            E
Better honk the horn just to let'em know
                 A
They don't get much company
         E
And they won't believe this big cadillac
   B   
Really belongs to me
          E
If you ain't sure yet just what to expect
               A
>From my side of the family
          E                                 A       
Well you better duck till they know its us
            B                    E
I can't make no guarantee
repeat chorus:
