LYRICS

Well, Mama don’t allow no music played around here
Oh, Mama don’t allow no music played around here
Well, we don’t care what Mama don’t allow
Playin’ our music anyhow
Mama don’t allow no music played in here

Well, Mama don’t like an ol’ guitar picked in here
She don’t like an old Tennessee flat-top picked in here
Big Don don’t care what your mama don’t allow
Gonna play the guitar anyhow
Mama don’t allow no guitar played in here

Well, Mama don’t like an ol’ fiddle played in here
She don’t like an ol’ country fiddle played in here
Wеll, Smoke don’t care what Mama don’t allow
He gonna play on thе ol’ fiddle anyhow
Mama don’t like an ol’ fiddle played in here

Well, Mama don’t like that ol’ bass fiddle played in here
She don’t like that old doghouse played in here
Well, Russell don’t care what Mama don’t allow
Gonna play on the old bass anyhow
Come on, Russell, play us some bass

Well, Mama don’t allow no mandolin playin’ around here
No, she don’t allow no mandolin playin’ around here
Well, Mama don’t care what Mama don’t like
Mama gonna play all night, all night
Mac’s gonna play all night around here

Well, Mama don’t like no music played around here
Sure don’t like that old country music played in here
Well, we don’t care what Mama don’t allow
Play our music anyhow
Mama don’t allow no music played in here
