Hen Pecked Man

歌詞

Now I'm disgusted Downhearted too Cause my wife treats me Just as she choose If I's the only one that knew it That would (follow do?) But all the neighbors round Knows it too They say they think It is a shame The way she treats me But I'm to blame Now everybody's calling me The hen pecked man In fact I knows I am I pay her rent, buy her diamonds Shoes and clothes She don't even have to put her feet Out of doors Now I wash the dishes, scrub the floors Sometimes I'm chambermaid And that's more than I used to do In my young childhood days She goes to cabaret balls Anyplace she wants to go But you know if I ask her where she's been boys With a rolling pin I get the floor She left last night at seven Come back this morning at eight Folks and had the nerve to bring another man Right smack up to the gate She hugged him and she kissed him I heard her say "babe you so nice and fat" And I poked my head out the window and said "Who in the devil is that?" And that ain't all I heard her When she called the man sweet papa I said "what's that you sayin'?" She said to me "I didn't say grasshopper" Now folks I taught (?) her everything she do And I'm actually scared to holler I 'spect she done been to the fortune teller And put me in the bottle Then take my advice and don't let 'em get You in they hands Cause everyone be calling you A hen pecked man
