My dad use to sing this song to me all the time when I was a kid, but I just can't seem to remember the words.
All I remember is........

My mama dun told me
When I was in knee pants
A girl is a ............

If anyone knows this songs, I sure would love to sing it again and bring back some fond memories of my dad.

I knew it as "My momma done told me when I was in pigtails..."

I remember a woman singing it in a real gutsy voice. Anybody know who I MEAN?

Found at Night & Day (Big Band) - Lyrics - a man's version.

And at Lyrics World - a woman's version!

Sinsull, I believe it was Doris Day who had a hit with this song. Her style wasn't always as "white bread" as her image.
