Over You*

There’s a lesson here to learn

For the man who can discern

And don’t intend to burn:

Oh, I gotta tell you boys

Don’t be playin’ with her toys

Or listenin’ to her noise.

No matter what they say

They’ll always make you pay

And  you’re a dead man anyway.

I’m fixin’ to tell you true

That’s what women do

Once they set their eye on you.

So…..

If you wanna save your life

Don’t take a singer for your wife

Or they’ll be singin’ lamentations

Over you.

If you wanna save your life

Don’t take a barmaid for your wife

Or they’ll be liftin’ a whiskey

Over you.

If you wanna save your life

Don’t take a salesgirl for your wife

Or they’ll be figuring up a talley

Over you.

If you wanna save your life

Don’t take a cowgirl for your wife

Or they’ll be kickin’ a bronc up

Over you.

Oh, listen to me men

And I’ll tell you once again

If you wanna save your life

Don’t take no sweet thing for you wife

Or they’ll be planting a gravestone

Over you!
