What else did Mama tell you in a song?
The Cranberries, Ode to My Family
Sometimes the best thing to say… is nothing. 
*Oh, take your time don’t live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman you’ll find love
And don’t forget son there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me son if you can?*
Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This will the be Groom/Mother of Groom dance at my wedding reception.
“Mama said there’d be days like this, there’d be days like this, mama said, mama said, mama said.”

She told me not to come (and added, “that ain’t no way to have fun”).
“Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed – most peculiar, mama” -John Lennon
A woman will sweet talk and give you the big eye. But when that sweet talk is done, a woman’s a two-face. A woman’s something that would leave to sing the blues in the night.
And she told me this when I was in knee pants!
- Arlen and Mercer
… if I was good-y, that she would buy me a rubber dolly.
(The Clapping Song)
… it’s a mean old town to live in by yourself. (Papa concurred)

Mama told me, yes she told me
I’d meet girls like you.
She also told me stay away
You never know what you’ll catch.

Mama said the pistol is the devil’s right hand
When I was just a baby, my mama told me “Son, always be a good boy. Don’t you ever play with guns”.
My mama told me, she said “Son, please beware
There’s this thing called love and it’s-a, everywhere”
She told me it can break your heart
And put you in misery
“Come on home, girl” Mama cried on the phone
“Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home”
Mama she has told me then, told me when I’s young
Son your whole life’s an open book, don’t close it fore it starts…
Metallica “Mama Said”
that “Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.”
“All men are false, they’ll tell you wicked loving lies. The very next evening, they’ll court another, leaving you alone to pine and sigh.”
