Cause your mamma dear needs a brand new suit

         C
  Well I hocked my watch and I sold the dog   
                          G7
And I pawned the gasoline stove
                                                                
I hocked my ring and everything

just to keep that woman in clothes
                                                                     
I even pawned the cat and I hocked my boots

and I sold the family car
                                 C

         G7      F      C
Before I hock my old guitar
