Marty Robbins - Pretty Mama lyrics

A great big moon shines up above me
It makes the whole world look bright and gay
A great big moon shines above me
And it makes the whole world
Look bright and gay

Well deep inside i feel like dying
'Cause pretty mama left me yesterday
She told me that there was no other
And like a fool i did believe
She told me there was no other man just
Like a great big fool I did believe

My best friend Bill walked up and told me
That pretty mama stepped around on me
My conscience say now watch your temper
Don't let that woman get the best of you
My conscience say watch your temper
Don't let that woman get the best of you

But me and conscience done talked it over
We've about decided what I got to do
I'm a-gonna go out gonna go this morning
I'm gonna find me a thirty eight
I'm a gonna go out this morning gonna
Find me a long thirty eight
And when old monkey boy sees me a-coming
I'm going to shoot the last
Car going out the gate i'm a-gonna go knock
Upon her front door
Gonna run around watch the back door slam
I'm a-gonna knock on her front door
Gonna run around and watch the back door slam

And like a royal mounted policeman
Gonna stay right there until I get my man
Now wait for me if I'm in prison
Don't need to fall down on your knees
Don't wait for me to find in prison
Ain't no need to fall down on your knees
'Cause I gotta go do
What conscience tells me
Gonna let no woman get the best of me
