You Gotta See Mama Every Night - Roy Acuff

You gotta see your mama every night

Or you can’t see your mama at all

You’ve got to kiss your mama, treat her right

Or I won’t be home when you call

Now I don’t like that kind o' man

That makes love on the installment plan

You gotta see your mama every night

Or you won’t see your mama at all

Monday night, you didn’t show

Tuesday night, you claimed no dough

Wednesday night, that same old stall

Thursday night, you didn’t call

Friday night, you dogged my path

Saturday night, you took your bath

Sunday night, you had a date

And from the looks of everything

It’s clear that I don’t rate

Hey you, you better show tonight

Or you won’t see your mama at all

You better kiss me, you better hold me right

Or I won’t be home when you call

Now I don’t like that kind o' man

That operates on the installment plan

You better see me, you better make things right

Or you won’t see your mama at all

Cut out all this stallin'

Cut in some callin'

Or you won’t see your mamma at all
