Blind Willie McTell — A Married Mans a Fool

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
