He would spend it on the ponies He would spend it on the girls Buy his mother gin and roses For her poor old henna'd curls
And when his wife said "Hey now! What did you get for me?" He socked her in the choppers Such a sweet, sweet guy was he!
And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted Valentine Knows her mama done told her That her man is darned unkind
How he loved the old race horses He would bet them every day One day he caught a winner And the cabbage wasn't hay!
He indulged in fancy spending Ordered rings, cars and furs But alas, alack Like a stab in the back She found out they were not hers!
And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted Valentine Knows her mama done told her That her man is darned unkind
He got mixed up with a Maisie He got mixed up with a Flo So Flo shoved him in the river He'll not get mixed up no more!
His wife then draped herself in black That showed her figure fine Then she cussed him out The two-faced guy No insurance could she find!
And her tears flowed like wine Yes, her tears flowed like wine She's a real sad tomato She's a busted Valentine Knows her mama done told her That her man is darned unkind!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
