Eddy Arnold – Mama Come Get Your Baby Boy (Guitar)

C                      F
Once I was a happy boy free as I could be

C                        D7               G7
I up and left my home to see what I could see

C                                  F
I met up with a little gal and she turned loose on me

C         G7            C


[tab]      F     C                       G7
Mama  mama  mama come get your baby boy

C
If I don’t get back home to roost

F
You know this gal’s done cooked my goose

C         G7            C
Mama come get your baby boy

                                    F
I always thought I’d like to try to take a little fling

C                               D7                  G7
Now I’m scared half to death to think what it might bring

C                                     F
She’ll string me like a puppet she’ll play me like a toy

C         G7            C
Mama come get your baby boy

      F     C                       G7
Mama  mama  mama come get your baby boy

C
If I don’t get back home to roost 

F
You know this gal’s done cooked my goose

C         G7            C
Mama come get your baby boy

                          F
If I ever get back home I promise this to you

C                             D7                  G7
I will stay away from women I know what they will do

C                                  F
They will treat you very nice then leave very blue

C         G7            C
