Ellingson Living in the North West, put myself to the test Got me a job in a lumber mill Reeling on the green chain, feeling all the back pain If a log don't get you then the boss will Five o'clock, twenty bucks in my sock And the boys all heading for the drinking gourd But first I do what's right, I pick up my wife She's home getting tired and bored Chorus 'Cause a good, good woman likes to drink with the boys And playing snooker and snuggling me are some of her joys And if you're throwing darts, she can take you apart She can bin you at a game of pinball Shuffle board is her favourite sport But loving is her best of all 'Cause a good, good woman likes to drink with the boys Put on your dancing spats, put out the cat Don't wear those shoes that make you too tall Powder your nose, don't worry about your clothes 'Cause later tonight you won't need them at all And when the juke box is juking and the smoke is a-smoking
And the cowpoke is poking along I never feel alone, I never leave her alone I always bring the little woman along [chorus] I said a good, good woman like to drink with the boys All of them good, good women like to drink with the boys All the good, good women like to drink with the boys All the good, good women like to drink with the boys (Good, good women, all the quality women) All the good, good women like to drink with the boys (All the good, good women, all the very best women) All of them good, good women like to drink with the boys (Good, good women, very best women) All the good, good women like to drink with the boys (Good, good women, all the quality women) All of them good, good women like to drink with the boys (Good, good women, all the very best women) All the good, good women like to drink with the boys (Good, good women, very best women) [etc]
