[Intro]
G A7 D G
If Heaven has a corner for a woman of the world
D A7 D
You can bet your bottom dollar she'll be there
D A7 G D
Mama was a dancer in her younger days they tell me
G D E7 A7
She was quite a woman of the world or so they say
G A7 G D
Daddy never took the time to help her with our raisin'
G D A7 D
I was just a baby when our daddy went away
[Chorus]
G A7 D
But there never was a day that we went hungry
G D A7
There never was a time we didn't have our mother's care
G A7 D G
And if Heaven has a corner for a woman of the world
D A7 D
You can bet your bottom dollar she'll be there
D A7 G D
Mama entertained a lot of young men in the parlor
G D E7 A7
We'd look thru the keyhole until she turned out the light
G A7 G D
After they were gone we'd hear her tiptoe up the staircase
G D A7 D
Mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
Yes if Heaven has a corner for a woman of the world
D A7 D
You can bet your bottom dollar she'll be there
