Ma Lyrics - Masterpiece - Temptations

Born in a log cabin in the back woods 

The back woods of Mississippi 

She drank moonshine, chewed tobacco 

Raised 16 children all by herself 

Never looked much like a lady 

You see mama ruined her body raisin' her babies 

Spend her evenings sitting in a rockin' chair 

Never had much o nothin but was always willin to share 

Talking 'bout ma, talkin' 'bout ma 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, talking 'bout ma 

Talkin' 'bout ma

Every once in awhile when ma would get depressed 

She'd go to the cabinet and get paw's guitar 

Sit herself down in the rockin' chair 

Start strummin' and hummin', ha ha, yeah 

Photos 

That was ma's way of lettin' off steam 

In plan old English you could see 

That ma was doin' her thing 

Every once in awhile she'd shout, "Let it all hang out" 

Oow talkin' 'bout ma, talking 'bout ma 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, talking 'bout ma 

Talking 'bout ma
