| [00:00.43] | When I became of age, my mother called me to her side |
| [00:04.79] | She said, son, you're growing up now, |
| [00:07.57] | pretty soon you'll take a bride |
| [00:10.32] | And then she said |
| [00:12.29] | Just because you've become a young man now |
| [00:15.55] | There's still some things that you don't understand now |
| [00:19.32] | Before you ask some girl for her hand now |
| [00:22.96] | Keep your freedom for as long as you can now |
| [00:26.55] | My mama told me, you better shop around |
| [00:30.62] | Whoa, yeah, you better shop around |
| [00:34.68] | Ah, there's some things that I want you to know now |
| [00:41.08] | Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now |
| [00:44.73] | The women come and the women gonna go now |
| [00:48.25] | Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now |
| [00:51.70] | My mama told me, you better shop around |
| [00:56.74] | Whoa, yeah, you better shop around |
| [01:00.06] | Try to get yourself a bargain, son |
| [01:05.79] | Don't be sold on the very first one |
| [01:09.59] | Pretty girls come a dime a dozen |
| [01:13.23] | Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving |
| [01:16.88] | Before you take a girl and say I do now |
| [01:20.64] | Make sure she's in love with you now |
| [01:24.51] | My mama told me, you better shop around |
| [01:28.64] | Oh, yeah |
| [01:47.14] | Try to get yourself a bargain, son |
| [01:49.78] | Don't be sold on the very first one |
| [01:53.12] | Pretty girls come a dime a dozen |
| [01:57.09] | Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving |
| [02:00.64] | Before you take a girl and say I do now |
| [02:04.39] | Make sure she's in love with you now |
| [02:08.12] | Make sure that her love is true now |
| [02:11.44] | I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue now |
| [02:15.47] | My mama told me, you better shop around |
| [02:20.67] | Oh, don't let the first one getcha |
| [02:23.29] | Oh no, 'cause I don't want to see her with ya |
| [02:27.25] | Uh huh, before you let 'em hold you tight |
| [02:31.19] | Ah, yeah, yeah, make sure she's all right |
| [02:34.76] | Uh huh, before you let her take your hand, my son |
| [02:38.80] | Understand, my son |
