(Ivy J. Bryant)

Won't you tell me if you can what's the matter with a man
When he starts a stayin' out all night
He's been a steppin' outta line and a messin' off my mind
And don't you know that that ain't right.

'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
He thought he was the only man in this whole world
But now he bettter do some thinkin' and then he'll find
He's got the only mama that'll walk the line.

While I'm working every day all he wants do is play
And I'm gettin' tired of bein' here alone
And I'm a comin' unglued from his funny little moods
When he finally come a dragging home.

Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
He thought he was the only man in this whole world
But now he bettter do some thinkin' and then he'll find
He's got the only mama that'll walk the line.

I keep a packin' up my clothes but everybody knows
That I'm really just a puttin' him on
Now when I start a walking after when you'll hear him squawking
And a begging me to come back home.

'Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl
He thought he was the only man in this whole world
But now he bettter do some thinkin' and then he'll find
He's got the only mama that'll walk the line.

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line...
