Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, it ain't but two things
That I really understand
Oh, it ain't but two things
That I really understand
Well, you know that is a lying woman
You know boys, and a jealous hearted man
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm so jealous
When I go home, my wife goes to bed
Yeah, the chickens on the yard go to roost
Yes, I heard what that man said
Yeah, you know my dog jumped the fence
Said, "This man, he makes me awful scared"
I don't play with nobody, boy
[Verse 3]
Yeah, when I was in the country
I only had two friends
Yeah, that was a whistling woman
And you know boys, a crowing hen
Yeah, you know that's when I found out the first time
You know my trouble just began
Look here Johnny, I got bad luck, son
[Verse 4]
Yeah, by the time I go home
My wife, she run and goes to bed
Yeah, anytime I go home mad
My wife, she runs and jumps in the bed
Yeah, you know my chickens all go to roost
Yes, I heard what that man said
I'm awful mad, Johnny
[Verse 5]
Yeah, when I was in the country
I only had two friends
Yeah, that was a whistling woman
You know boys, and a crowing hen
Yeah, that I know for sure, I know for sure
My trouble just began
