 D                     D7                                     G                             D 
Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
                                   D7                         A 
and I determined not to let her down
 D                             D7                               G                                   D 
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
                                     A7                       D 
we were the local gossip of the town.
     D                                 D7                                 G                             D 
I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others
                                     D7                             A 
but I wound up in jail on Chrismas day
     D                             D7                           G                           D 
I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers
                                       A7                         D 
when I got home my mom had passed away
         D           D7             G                             D 
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
         D7                                                   A 
and mama my intentions were the best
 D                         D7         G                       D 
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
 D7                                                                           A 
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
         G                 A7                               D 
But mama my intentions were the best
     D                             D7                           G                         D 
A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing
                                       D7                         A 
I promised him but never took the time
         D                                 D7                   G                       D 
Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing
                                 A7                             D 
Wishin' I could hold him one more time
(repeat chorus)
         G                 A7                               D 
But mama my intentions were the best
