G            A7           D            G
If Heaven has a corner for a woman of the world
        D                A7              D
You can bet your bottom dollar she'll be there

D          A7            G                 D
Mama was a dancer in her younger days they tell me
G               D            E7               A7
She was quite a woman of the world or so they say
G           A7               G                  D
Daddy never took the time to help her with our raisin'
G            D             A7          D
I was just a baby when our daddy went away

[Chorus]
          G           A7               D
But there never was a day that we went hungry
      G           D                                A7
There never was a time we didn't have our mother's care
       G            A7           D            G
And if Heaven has a corner for a woman of the world
        D               A7               D
You can bet your bottom dollar she'll be there

D         A7              G                D
Mama entertained a lot of young men in the parlor
G                  D             E7                 A7
We'd look thru the keyhole until she turned out the light
G               A7                 G             D
After they were gone we'd hear her tiptoe up the staircase
G              D               A7            D
Mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight

[Chorus]
       G            A7           D            G
Yes if Heaven has a corner for a woman of the world
        D                A7               D
You can bet your bottom dollar she'll be there
