Lyrics

I never see it yet to fail
I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with a virtuous man
Is doomed to weep and wail
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good
My mother used to say to me
"When you grow up, my son
I hope you're a bum like your father was
'Cause a good man ain't no fun"
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good
I never seen it yet to fail
I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with any man
Is doomed to weep and wail
And they're even worse after they marry you
Here's Arminy—been married a year
She'll tell you
The clock just takes your life away
There's no relief in sight
It's cookin' and scrubbin' and sewin' all day
And God-knows-whatin' all night!
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman
As a man who's bad or good
It makes you wonder, don't it?
What do you think, Julie?
You tell her
Tell it to her good, Julie
Tell it to her good
What's the use of wond'rin'
If he's good or if he's bad
Or if you like the way he wears his hat?
Oh, what's the use of wond'rin'
If he's good or if he's bad?
He's your feller and you love him
That's all there is to that
Common sense may tell you
That the endin' will be sad
And now's the time to break and run away
But what's the use of wond'rin'
If the endin' will be sad?
He's your feller and you love him
There's nothin' more to say
Somethin' made him the way that he is
Whether he's false or true
And somethin' gave him the things that are his
One of those things is you
So when he wants your kisses
You will give them to the lad
And anywhere he leads you, you will walk
And anytime he needs you
You'll go runnin' there like mad
You're his girl and he's your feller
And all the rest is talk
