Tony Joe White - Lustful Earl and the Married Woman lyrics

Now, big Earl Bradshaw, he was a lone wolf He was always on the prowl And when he'd go out to find a woman You could hear his awful howl Ahoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Ahoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Baby, I'm comin' for you Ahoo, ahoo, ahoo Now, Lucy Dorcey, she was a pretty thing But you know, she was married Whenever she see him, old big Earl coming She'd hide the ring she was wearing Ahoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, alright This went on every night Big Earl would howl for more But then one night there came a-poundin' on the door There went her husband, he knocked the door down And he grabbed her ferociously She said, "Earl honey, would you call the police 'Cause I believe, he's a-k**in' me" He turned on Earl with the gun There was no chance to run He said, "You've had it, son" But he'd missed and shot him through the knee Well, old Earl, he jumped out the window He was naked and limping down the road And you could hear him howling in the distance But he sounded like a wounded toad "Ahooie, why did you shoot me in the knee? I was just trying to do The thing that comes naturally"
