Lyrics Merle Haggard – You Nearly Lose Your Mind

If you love your mama and you treat her right
And she keeps on fussin’ at you every day and night
She’s gonna triflin’ on ye, she’ll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin’

Now if your mama’s mean take a tip from me
Lock her in the closet and hang on to the key
She’s gon’ triflin’ on ye, they’ll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin’
Lord, you nearly lose your mind

But if your mama’s good I’ll tell you what to do
Give her lots of lovin’, love her, watch her closely too
She’s gonna trifle on ye, Lord they’ll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin’
Lord, you nearly lose your mind

Now you come home to your mama find your clothes ain’t clean
You can bet you’re slippin’ if you get just what I mean
She’s gonna triflin’ on ye, Lord she’ll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin’
Lord, you nearly lose your mind
