CAPO I 
 
 
INTRO: G      
 
RIFF: C G  C D7 G (2x) 
 
 
       G 
I was raised on the west side shanty town  
 
I didn't get up until the sun went down 
            C 
When your back's against the wall, you better get tough 
                            N.C. 
You learn real quick how to swing and duck 
 
             C 
I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine 
G 
Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine 
        D 
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school 
N.C.          
My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, that's right      
RIFF G Some folks cheat and some folks lie But I can judge a man by the look in his eye C Don't hand by Jack and try to call it cola N.C. I can tell the difference between sh*t and shinola CHORUS SOLO: C G C D G C G C G I'm talkin' 'bout mama G C G C D Oh sweet mama G Mama was no angel but she taught me right from wrong She knew every single word and every note of every song C She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice If it makes you feel good do it, don't think twice CHORUS (2x) RIFF (4x)
