Tom T. Hall

Mama likes to listen to the grand old gospel time
Daddy is a cowboy drinkin beer and wine
Mamas in the kitchen standin there all alone
She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone
Daddy says come on down to Tootsies and have yourself a beer
Mamas in the kitchen standin there in tears
My mama love my daddy but its breaking up our home
She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone
Mama dont like drinkin and she dont understand
Daddys had a hard life a deeply troubled man
Its honky tonk and gospel thats breaking up our home
She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone
Daddy says come on down...
I came home one evening there was mama on her knees
Big old tears of gospel joy running down her cheeks
She says you dont have to worry son we are not alone
I got Jesus on the radio and Jesus on the phone
Daddy says come on down...
