Progression: C-F-G-C, repeat. Down-tuned
Do your chores, study hard
walk the dog in your back yard
plant your flowers in a line
or mama will drink turpentine
Chorus x2:
turpentine
turpentine
mama’s drinking turpentine
dust your floor, clean up your sink
or mama will have a fatal drink
if that porcelain don’t shine
mama will drink turpentine
chorus x2
clean your sheets and make your bed
keep that language in your head
fill the bottles up with wine
or your mom will drink turpentine
chorus x2
cut your steak along the grain
trim the hedges in the rain
Clean your windows, wash the blinds
or mama will drink turpentine
chorus x2
