[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well tell me mama what am I to do
Thereâs just no gettinâ next to you
I ainât lookinâ for a big gold mine
I just want to make you mine â
[Verse 2]
Well tell me pretty mama where did I go wrong
I wake up in the morning and a-sing this song
Iâve been a good man all my day
Tryinâ to do like the good book say â
[Chorus]
Although it may get heavy
Further on down the road
Iâm much stronger than the lever
Girl I thought you know⦠â
[Verse 3]
Silver did it at a play to be [?]
Thatâs what a pretty little girl told me
Rich men dance on the barroom floor
Old folk lookinâ in through the door â
[Interlude]
x2
[Chorus]
Although it may get heavy
Further on down the road
Iâm much stronger than the lever
I m about to let it show
[Verse 4]
Tell me mama what do I do now
Just canât get behind this muley plow
I donât need no big gold mine
I just want to make you mine
