Young Girl

Em Em My mama told me to be clean and behave D I always listened or she'd slap me in the face Em I never swore, I never said no dirty words D Didn't play with boys, 'cause mama said I'd get hurt Bm A When I was a young girl, ah, ah, oh Bm A Bb When I was a young girl, ah, ah, oh Em I walked to school and skipped the cracks in the cement D I used to watch the boys through the holes in the fence Em I kept my distance, didn't want to break the rules D I knew what mama would say, but it seemed so cruel Bm A When I was a young girl, ah, ah, oh Bm A Bb When I was a young girl, ah, ah, oh Bm When I was a young girl! G Remember Bm G Remember E7/B F# Hey, mama, can I go out tonight? E7/B F# Please, mama, there's a party tonight G D Oh, daddy, won't you say it's alright? G D Please, daddy, won't you say it's alright? E7/B F# Oh, mama, I'll behave myself E7/B F# Papa said: "Be home by quarter to twelve" G D Oh, daddy, won't you say it's alright? G D E Go tell mama it'll be alright for me! E Please, daddy, go tell mama it'll be alright E Please! F# E D E D Em Em When I got older all my friends began to change D Since I learned to kiss the boys, things have never been the same Em I make my own choice now, I go my own way D Don't have to worry no more about what mama might say Bm A But when I was a young girl, ah, ah, oh Bm A Bb When I was a young girl, ah, ah, oh Bm When I was a young girl! A Ohohohoho! Bm Ohohohoho! A Bb Ohohoho! Bm When I was a young girl! A Yeah, a young girl Bm A When I was a young girl! ah, ah, oh (Fade Out)
