As recorded by Wanda Jackson (1956 single release) [Intro] D A E A [Verse 1]
A
While walking down the street one day

          D                              A
I heard a girl to another one mournfully say

D                                          A
Mary, oh Mary, I'd be the happiest girl in town

         D              A          E               A
If I was half as good a girl as my mother thinks I am
[Verse 2]
A
I thought of you and the wrongs I have done

       D                                      A
I took chances and cheated and thought it was fun

        D                                          A
I could still have your sweet love your ring on my hand

         D              A          E               A
If I was half as good a girl as my mother thinks I am
[Chorus]
         D                                        A
Now I've been down many highways and go out every night

                                                 E
But my conscience still hurts me I know it's not right

        A                        D          A
Girls remember this story before you go too far

        D              A            E                 A
Are you half as good a girl as your mother thinks you are
[Interlude] A D A E A [Verse 3]
A
I saw you today with a wonderful girl

       D                                A
In her arms was a baby with cute little curls

        D                                          A
I had a cold empty feeling I could still have your love

         D              A          E                A
If I was half as good a girl as my mother thought I was
[Out-Chorus]
         D                                        A
Now I've been down many highways and go out every night

                                                 E
But my conscience still hurts me I know it's not right

        A                        D          A
Girls remember this story before you go too far

        D              A            E                 A
Are you half as good a girl as your mother thinks you are
