and i did ma

Lyrics

my mother, she told me to stay away from boys, and i did ma, and i did ma, "you can enjoy yourself home with your toys", and i did ma, and i did, ah, but i was lonely, never had a boyfriend, i was lonely, oh so lonely, and then i found out, toys were different from men, there's a difference, yes there is. ma, i married young to a man of the plains, i was happy, oh so happy, but as the time passed he brought me only pain, i remembered what my mother had said, "take out our old deck, of fine playing cards, choose the best of the lady, take in your hand, the queen of the hearts, and listen to what she will say", i left my husband and made it back home, i was happy, oh so happy, i have all my toys so i don't feel alone, i'm a good kid, yes i am. ma, and every night when i say my prayers, i remember what was said by the cards, i followed her warning, and i thank her for being, my mother, the queen of my heart
