Blind Willie McTell - Married Man's a Fool lyrics

Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon Just as wise as he could be Now I realized he could read the Good Book Back from Revelations down to Genesis 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 married man's a fool to think that his wife Would love nobody else but him" She stick by you all your life, the chances is mighty slim Now you read the Good Book, chapter 21: Every married woman got to have a little fun Read on over chapter 22: It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you Now you read a little further, chapter 23: She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me Read on back, over chapter 10: She shimmy one time, you got the problem 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 married man's a fool to think that his wife Love nobody else but him She stick by you all of your life, the chances is mighty slim Now you read on over 25th page: Married woman's Lord, is hard to engage Read kinda careful, chapter 26: Back door slamming, you got to finally get it fixed Read on out, chapter 28: Who's that back slidin' out through your back gate? I believe I'll close on chapter 29: Woman get tired of the same man all the time Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife Love nobody else but him Songwriter: Blind Willie McTell
