Now if you love your Momma 
And you treat her right
But she keeps on fussin’ at you every day and night
Then she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

What do you think Willie?

Now if your Momma’s mean 
Take a tip from me
Lock her up at home Lord but hang on to that key
Because she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts to steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Rave on brother… rave on 

But if you Momma’s good 
I’ll tell yah what to do
Give her lots of lovin’ Lord but watch her closely too
Because she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Ah pick them blues out Jimmie

(instrumental)

Now you come home to your Momma 
Find your clothes ain’t clean
You can bet you’re slippin’ if you get just what I mean
Because she’s been triflin’ on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Now Waylon son it’s all yours…

Now you may have a Momma 
Who says that she is true
But wait till you get down and out and really need her to
Then she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts a steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Tell the truth son… tell the truth

Now I’ve been a lot of places
There’s not much I ain’t done
But when it comes to women Lord I just don’t trust a one
Because they triflin' on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts to steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

It nearly drives you crazy
