| 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 |
