Lyric Let All Married Women Alone (1930)

Man, don t never mess with a woman, when she don t belong to you.
Don t never mess with a woman, when she don t belong to you.
After she gets you in trouble boy then she s through with you.

A married woman called me up one mornin, say, “come to my house about half past 3.”
A married woman called me up one mornin, say, “come to my house about half past 3.”
Her husband caught me in his home, beat me till I was ragged as a cedar tree.

Man, take my advice, let all married women lone.
Take my advice, and let all married women lone.
They will only frame you out your life, and hell will be your brand new home.

Man, he cut at me with a razor, in the other hand was a Gatlin gun.
He cut at me with his razor, in the other hand was a Gatlin gun.
It s all right to be brave sometimes, but nothin beats a darn good run.

My eyes got big as a dollar, my heart almost jumped out in my hand.
My eyes got big as a dollar, my heart almost jumped out in my hand.
It s awful hard to face a woman s husband when you only an outside man.

Boys, I used to think that a married woman was the sweetest woman that ever was born.
Boys, I used to think that a married woman was the sweetest woman ever was born.
But this one caused me so much trouble, I wish they all was dead and gone.
