Intro:

Ricky (G) Tidwell was a great athlete 
He was a (C) big strong boy that was quick on his feet
And every (G) college in the country wanted Ricky blockin' on their (D) line
Oh when the (G) scouts came knocking on Ricky's door
They (C) didn't want to talk to young Rick no more
When they (G) saw his mama she's the (D) one they wanted to (G) sign

She was a real bold woman raised on a farm 
Had (C) Bear Bryant tattooed on her forearm
She was (G) meaner than heck and ran the 40 in 4.(D)3
She could (G) squat 600 bench press 5
The (C) hands down meanest homemaker alive
Got a (G) scholarship playing line(D)backer in the SE(G)C (G7)

  Ricky (C) Tidwell's mama is gonna play football
  Her (G) real name's Doris but they're gonna call her "Too (D) Tall" 
  She's got (G) shoulders and a hind end four foot wide
  (C) Going to college on a (C7) full ride
  Mrs. (G) Tidwell's will you (D) play in the (F) NC-(C)-double-(G)-A

She'd (G) wash all her team mates uniforms
Tucked (C) everybody in the football dorms
(G) Cooked the game meal, said the Lord's prayer
You're (D) missing a jockstrap? She's got a spare
(G) Crawled in the huddle, and called all the plays
The (C) only one tough enough to go both ways
Got a (G) mouth full of mud, scarred up knees
(D) Cussing out the coaches and the referees

  Ricky (C) Tidwell's mama's gonna play football
  Her (G) real name's Doris 
  Everbody calls her "Too (D) Tall"
  They say she's a (G) fine young man but she's really not
  Ricky's (C) mama was the master of the (C7) cheap shot
  And on the (G) triple option (D) play she'd (F) ruin (C) your (G) day

She led the (F) team in tackles and the (C) league in sacks
Res(G)ponsible for killing nine running backs
But the (F) school's reputation (C) was destroyed
They (G) accused Ricky's mama of (D) ster(D7)oids

  Ricky (C) Tidwell's mama's on probation
  Now the (G) college is started their investiga(D)tion
  They wouldn't leave (G) poor Ricky Tidwell's mama alone
  Said (C) she'd been takin' male (C7) hormones
  Mrs. (G) Tidwell's gonna be (D) hell
  In the (F) N-(C)-F(G)-L
  Ricky Tidwell's mama

Spoken: 
Hey..ho
15 yard penalty
Illegal use of a clothesline 
Can I have your autograph, ma'am
Or is it 'sir'?
