Lyrics: Jean Shepard. My Mama Didn't Raise No Fools.

My mama didn't raised no fools no mama didn't raised no fools
You didn't give me credit but it's time you knew my mama didn't raised no fools
You know back alleys like an old tomcat you know I ain't a puttin' up with that
You broke your neck break and all the rules my mama didn't raised no fools
You got a stock full of tricks you're a sly ole pup
But I learned your tricks through the spool of hard knots
Here's your walkin' paper and there's your shoes my mama didn't raised no fools
My mama didn't raised no fools no mama didn't raised no fools
I'm gettin' my kicks kickin' you know who my mama didn't raised no fools
Slip around like a sneak in the grass you should've known that it couldn't last
Don't try to crawl back cause that won't do my mama didn't raised no fools
You come in late a tellin' me lies but you can't pull a wool over these two eyes
I got enough sense to add two and two my mama didn't raised no fools

My mama didn't raised no fools no mama didn't raised no fools
The dumbest of 'em all is smather than you my mama didn't raised no fools
(Huh huh honey my mama she ain't raised no fools around her house
Let me tell you she raised a bunch of smart youngones
And I was the smartest one of 'em
And don't you forget it honey the dumbest of 'em all was smarter than you baby)
