Ry Cooder - A Married Man's A Fool Lyrics
(Willie McTell)Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deaconJust as wise as he could beNow I realized he could read the Good BookBack from Revelations down to GenesisYou know last Sunday morning we was over to the churchMy buddy wants to take him a standAnd he looks out upon that whole congregationThe Good Book in his handNow he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen CornerAll the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say ?]He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but himShe stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slimNow you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one:Every married woman got to have a little funRead on over chapter twenty-two:It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta youNow you read a little further, chapter twenty-three:She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed meRead on back, over chapter ten:She shimmy one time, you got the problem again'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wifeLoves nobody else but him, I mean, loves nobody else but himWell, a married man's a fool to think that his wifeLoves nobody else but himShe stands by you all your life the chances is mighty and slimNow you read on over twenty-fifth page:Married womens, Lord, is hard to engageRead kinda careful, chapter twenty-six:Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixedRead on out, chapter twenty-eight:Who's that back slidin' out through the back gate ?I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine:Woman get tired of the same man all the time'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
