When I Was Six Or Seven

Mama Tucked Me In

With A Lullabye

And It Made My Eyes

Open Wide Again

I'd Lie Awake And Wonder

Why A Boy Named Billy Joe

Jumped Off The Tallahatchee Bridge

To The River Far Below



(Chorus)

Blame It On Mama And The Songs She Loved To Sing

I'm Not From Louisiana, But That Don't Mean A Thing

Don't Come From Alabama Or Hail From Tennessee

Just Blame It On Mama

She Sang The Country Into Me



I Just Loved To Listen

As She Sang Those Story Songs

'Bout A Coat Of Many Colors

Or A Girl Named Delta Dawn

When The Lights Went Out In Georgia

I Would Beg For Just One More

All About Fancy And The Pretty Red Satin

Dancing Dress She Wore



(Repeat Chorus)



I'm A Coal Miner's Daughter

Lovin' That Preacher's Son

I've Walked The Streets Of Laredo

Stared Down The Barrel Of A Lawman's Gun

I've Grown Roots And I've Got Ties

To Places I've Never Been

And When I Sing Those Songs It Takes Me

Right Back Home Again



(Repeat Chorus)



The Country Into Me, Yeah
