Verse 1

Now, I've been idling with my old folks,

Them worried 'bout my life,

Saying "Sonny dear, we'll say it clear"

"It's time you found a wife"

Guitar Solo

Verse 2

I'll grant as much, I've had some fun

Doing nothing, being free,

My folks mean well, god bless their soul

Wishing just the best for me

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

So, wanting just to clear my mind,

I stepped out for a walk,

My worries I would leave behind

Too weary for more talk

Guitar Solo

Verse 4

I wandered past the old mill pond,

Down where the tall pines grow,

The kind of place a man can't help

But let his footsteps slow

Guitar Solo

Verse 5

And deep among those quiet trees,

Where sunlight barely fell,

I came upon a lady tall,

Beneath a mossy dell

Guitar Solo

Verse 6

Now, eight feet high and covered brown,

With eyes like autumn skies,

I'd never seen a gal so grand,

I couldn't trust my eyes

Guitar Solo

Verse 7

She looked at me, I looked at her,

She let out quite a roar,

But something in that bellowed call

Left me wanting more

Chorus

Oh, Mama, oh, Papa, be careful now

Of whatever that you wish,

Your boy has found his sweetheart now,

And lord, she's quite the dish!

Guitar Solo

Verse 8

So I took her hand, her paw, her claw,

And walked her down the lane,

I'd never seen the neighbors stare

Quite so hard through their pane

Guitar Solo

Verse 9

My daddy saw us coming first,

He gripped the porch fence tight,

His knuckles white, his face gone pale

A most peculiar sight

Guitar Solo

Verse 10

My mama dropped her laundry,

Lord, the things she hollered out,

I said "Now Mama, calm yourself,

What's all this fuss about?"

Guitar Solo

Verse 11

"You said you wanted me to wed,

To settle down and stay,

Well here she is, my darling girl,

Now what you got to say?"

Guitar Solo

Verse 12

My daddy cleared his throat real slow,

And looked her up and down,

Then said "Well son... At least you brought...

A girl from out of town"
