A Married Man’s a Fool Lyrics by Blind Willie McTell

Ultimate Blues Collection

0

Friend Luther Brown, he was a deacon
Just as wise as he could be
He realized he could read the good book back
From Revelation on down to Genesee
You know last Sunday morning we was over at the church
My buddy wanted to take him a stand
He wanted to look out on that whole congregation
With his good book in his hand
He casts his eyes about
Then he looked over in the Amen Corner
The sisters began to shout - what'd he say?
He said, "A married man’s a fool to think that his wife
Would love nobody else but him"
She'll stick by you, bubba, all your life
Although chances is mighty slim
Now you can read the good book, chapter 21
Every married woman bound to have a little fun
You read it on over chapter 22
Wife can be your boy friend's wife and you there too
Now you read it on down, chapter 23
Two-time your bubba like she double-crossed me
Now read it on down, chapter 24
Shimmy the first time, you gonna wallow some more
You read it on over, 25th page
Women these days, brother, is hard to engage
Now read it kinda careful, chapter 26
Marry your wife and quit her, you gotta learn to get it fixed
Now chapter 27 read like this
Your wife get crooked give her a mouth full of fist
Now read it on over, chapter 28
Stand to work for paint back slide on your back gate
I believe I’ll close up this summit on chapter 29
Woman get tired of the same man all the time
A married man's a fool to think that his wife
Would love nobody else but him, I mean
Would love nobody else but him
