"Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard. "She tried to raise me better.."

"Blues In The Night" has the line "My mama done told me, there'd be blues in the night."

"Shop Around" I think the line is "My mama said "Son, you better shop around."

"Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing" Brooks & Dunn.

There are probably 100 old folks songs on the same theme, but I can't remember any at the moment.


"No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Johnson.
