Mean Mary - Satin Skirt And Dancin' Shoes
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
[Verse 1]
F E7
They built this club back when I was three
Am F E7 Am
Momma sang for dollars and Daddy drank for free
F E7
While I’d hide in the kitchen eatin’ rich folk’s hors d’oeuvres
Am F E7 Am
And listenin’ to them talk about Momma's sweet young curves
[Chorus]
F E7
Now, Momma was a lady, never did nothin’ wrong
Am F D Am
Lord, could she help it if her legs were too long
F E7
She sang hymns Sunday mornings, but at night she’d sing the blues
Am F D Am F E7 Am
In her satin skirt and dancin’ shoes
[Verse 2]
F E7
There’s a picture of Momma hanging over the bar
Am F E7 Am
Papa said that one day he would make her a star
F E7
But time goes by, dreams and pictures fade
Am F E7 Am
Cruel drink became Papa’s only crusade
[Chorus]
F E7
Broken hearts and cigarette smoke
Am F D
Well, I spent my time just growing up broke
Am F E7
I’d wear Papa’s shirt, still smellin’ of the booze
Am F D Am
And Momma’s satin skirt and dancin’ shoes
[Instrumental]
Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
[Verse 3]
F E7
Well, Papa drank himself six feet under dirt
Am F E7 Am
Momma, she got tired of her satin skirt
F E7
She left it to me with her shoes and a note
Am F E7 Am
“When life is funny”, was all that she wrote
[Chorus]
F E7
Well, I don't know how I made it this far
Am F D Am
I didn’t learn much in that lonely old bar
F E7
But I learned how to flirt and to sing the blues
Am F D Am
In Momma’s satin skirt and dancin’ shoes
[Instrumental]
Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
[Chorus]
F E7
Oh, now, Momma was a lady, oh, never did nothin’ wrong
Am F D Am
But her hair was too wavy and her legs were too long
F E7
She’d look like an angel with nothing left to lose
Am F D Am
Oh, in her satin skirt and dancin’ shoes
F E7
She’d praise god Sunday morning, but at night she’d sing the blues
Am F D Am
In a satin skirt and dancin’ shoes
