Porter Wagoner - Barlow Chapin lyrics

Barlow Chapin was a big man Barlow Chapin was a real man When he'd play ball all the girls would scream If the boys complained he'd whip the whole team Barlow Chapin was a big man Barlow Chapin was a big man not an ounce of fat was on his bones Just hard muscles made him strong His waist was only about thirty inches around But he stood 6-4 and weighed about 220 pounds Barlow Chapin was a big man Born and raised in the Ozark Hills in the land of the mountains and corn liquor stills He started datin' a girl when he was fifteen Her name was Debbie the high school queen Debbie was the prettiest girl in school But for another boy to look at her would've had to be a fool Cause she was Barlow's girl that was understood For he'd whip the whole cla** and I'll name who he would Barlow Chapin was a big man... Well just before graduation day Debbie and Barlow announced their wedding day Well they got married bout a year ago and I seen Barlow the other day And I didn't hardly know him why he wouldn't have weighed a hundred pounds The moral of the story is that love is a wonderful thing But too much of it will sure get you down Why got Barlow down to less than a hundred pounds And Barlow Chapin was a big man...
