YES MA'M (HE FOUND ME IN A HONKY TONK)
(Glenn Barber)

Leona Williams - 1970



Yes, Ma'm, he found me in a honky tonk
And I'm sure I'm not the kind of girl 
You want your son to know

Yes, Ma'm, I know you think that it's all wrong
And if he felt the way you do
I'd go back where I belong

I know he deserves the best 
And there's better girls than me
I don't want to quarrel with you 
But I love him, can't you see

Yes, Ma'm, he met me where the lights are low
And I've seen the other side of town 
Where good girls shouldn't go

(Instrumental Break)

Yes, I know he deserves the best 
And there's better girls than me
Please don't quarrel with me 
'Cause I love him, can't you see

Yes, Ma'm I've partied with a crazy crowd
But someone just like your lovin' son 
Helped to show me how

Yes, someone just like your loving son 
Helped to show me how
