I Got a Woman

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star

Draped around my kitchen sink, Happy as can be

I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.

I'm not much to look at, nothing to see

Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be

I got a woman crazy for me

She's funny that way.

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent

She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent

I got a woman crazy for me

She's funny that way.

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day

She'd be so much better off if I went away.

But why should I leave her, why should I go

She'd be unhappy without me I know

I got a woman crazy for me

She's funny that way.

She should have the very best, Anyone can see

Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.

While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do

Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.

Never had nothin'; no one to care

That's why I seem to have more than my share,

I got a woman, crazy for me,

She's funny that way.

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,

Her only answer is one little smile,

I got a woman crazy for me.

She's funny that way.

I can see no other way and no better plan,

End it all and let her go to some better man;

But I'm only human, coward at best

I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,

I got a woman crazy for me,

She's funny that way.
