     E         A    B     A
My poor broke mama told me
When I was twelve years old
You eat and talk much too fast
        E          A           B
There's one thing you should know

           A    D        E  D A
Take your time my sweet baby
 D         E        D        E A B A
Take your time my blue eyed son
              B
Well you may never have his money
A                                 E
But you won't miss no rich man's fun

I can never give you money honey
I can never buy you clothes
But the way them women been looking at you
Someday you should have both

If you take your time my sweet baby
Take your time and love them slow
And if you play your cards right
You won't never wait no more

Well the ladies like their diamonds
They like their brand new clothes
But I was blessed with plenty of other
things they love the most
I take my time with the ladies

I take my time and I love them slow
And since I turned thirteen
Lord, I ain't never wait no more

I can never give you money honey
I can never buy you clothes
But the way them schoolgirls look at you
Someday you should have both

If you take your time my sweet baby
Take your time and be my son
Well you might never have his money
But you won't miss his fun
