My mama she said live well alone 
And remember what I said 
even when you're grown 

She said you and your brother 
best learn to share 
To do always what's right and what's fair 

And be slow what you take 
Cause you reap just what you make 
And don't fight like two dogs and one bone 

Said it's better to give than to receive 
And to always tell the truth 
and don't deceive 

And make sure that you do 
What your mama tells you to 
And don't fight like two dogs and one bone
