Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon,
Just as wise as he could be.
Now I realize he could read the Good Book
Back from Revelations down to Genessee.
You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church,
My buddy wants to take him a stand,
And he looks out upon that whole congregation
The Good Book in his hand.
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner;
All the sisters commenced to shout. [What'd he say ?]
He said a man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him.
She stick by you all your life, the chances is mighty slim.Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one:
Every married woman got to have a little fun.
Read on over chapter twenty-two:
It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you.
Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three:
She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me.
Read on back, over chapter ten:
She shimmy one time, she like to wobble again.
'Cause a man's a fool to think that his wife
Love nobody else but him, I mean, love nobody else but him.Well, a man's a fool to think that his wife
Love nobody else but him.
She stand by you all of your life, the chances is mighty slim.
Now you read on over twenty-fifth page:
Married woman's loyalty is hard to engage.
Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six:
Back door slamming, you got to run and get it fixed.
Read on out, chapter twenty-eight:
Who's that back slidin' out through your back gate?
I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine:
Woman get tired of the same man all the time.
'Cause a man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him.
