Mama Nantucket

By Michael Nesmith

Oh, Mama Natucket, she tried to kick the habit
But she couldn't and she got stung.
I tried to relieve her but she wasn't a believer
Until she tried another one.

Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-dee, I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.
Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-dee, I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.

Oh, Bobby with a dollar he was sure he found the answer
But it might take a little time.
Playin' Follow-the-Leader he was sure to be a winner
But I had other things on my mind.

Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-dee, I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.
Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-dee, I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.

See all the people runnin'.
Comin' from miles around.
Everybody's singin' a different tune
See them all fall down.

Well, I don't like to quarrel but what about tomorrow.
Will it be the same as the past?
I keep on hopin' that somethin' will happen
And I hope that it happens fast.

Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-de,e I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.
Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-dee, I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.


[Instrumental]

Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-dee, I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.
Oh, de-leedle-oh-de-lay-de,e I love it here on the range.
Come-a ti-yi-yippy I would love it more if it changed.
