Lyrics:

Now if you go out and start a playing around
Your baby's gonna tear your playhouse down
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
Well you'll be moanin' and a groanin', Lord you better keep it on your mind

Well now wrong is wrong and right is right
If you make a snake mad he's sure gonna bite
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
Well you'll be moanin' and a groanin', son, you better keep it on your mind, yeah

If you make your baby mad and she says goodbye
Ain't a thing you can do but sit at home and cry
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better heed this warning, son, you better keep it on your mind, yeah

If the judge says pay her forty dollars a week
You'll dig up the money or you'll work the streets
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better call her sweet mama, son, you better keep it on your mind, yeah

Well so love her every mornin', now you kiss her every night
Boy you can't win no matter if you're right
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You'll be moanin' and a groanin', son, you better keep it on your mind

When you're wearing striped britches, son, it's gonna stay on your mind
