You Nearly Lose Your Mind — Ernest Tubb

Chords and lyrics for You Nearly Lose Your Mind by Ernest Tubb (key of C).

Intro

[G7] [C]

Now [C]if you love your momma and you treat her right
[C]But she keeps on fussing at you [C7]every day and night

She's gonna [F]trifle on ya
They'll [C]do it every time
And when your [G7]baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your [C]mind

Now [C]if your momma's mean, take a tip from me
[C]Lock her up at home, oh, but [C7]hang on to that key

Cause she's gonna [F]trifle on ya
They'll [C]do it every time
And when your [G7]baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your [C]mind

But [C]if your momma's good, tell you what to do
[C]Give her lots of loving, lord, but [C7]watch her closely too

Cause she's gonna [F]trifle on ya
They'll [C]do it every time
And when your [G7]baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your [C]mind

[C] [C7]
[F] [C]
[G7] [C]

Now you [C]come home to your momma, find your clothes ain't clean
[C]You can bet you're slipping if you [C7]get just what I mean

Cause she's gonna [F]trifle on ya
They'll [C]do it every time
And when your [G7]baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your [C]mind

Now [C]you may have a momma that says that she is true
But [C]wait till you are down and out and [C7]really need her too

Cause she's gonna [F]trifle on ya
They'll [C]do it every time
And when your [G7]baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your [C]mind

Now I've [C]been a lot of places, there's not much I ain't done
But [C]when it comes to women, Lord, I [C7]just don't trust a one

Because they [F]trifle on ya
They'll [C]do it every time
And when your [G7]baby starts stepping
Lord you nearly lose your [C]mind
