[Dm] [G]
[Dm] [G]
[Dm] All the fellas always walk [G] around talking about [Dm] Bobby Ray, my woman, I left.
[G]
I [B] don't [Dm] know why your woman left you, [G] why she left me yet.
[C#] [Dm] But I don't know how soon.
[G] You see, [E] [Dm] I got a country woman, [G] and I keep that
woman in mind just as [Dm] healthy, fat, and fine as you can be.
[C#] [Dm] And I raise hog, cow, [G] chicken, and everybody.
[Dm] She better not like that, she's hungry.
If she [G] do, [B] your cow is [Dm] dead.
[G] And if [Dm] she wants some pork chop, I kill a
pig [G] with her pork chop all the [B] week.
[Dm] And if she wants some [G] chicken, [C] I rank her
chicken and [Dm] I'll fry her and bring her home and bring her to her [G] bed.
And you know, [Dm] she better not ever, ever, ever [G] act like she wants some love.
[Dm] That's why I really come here, to see some love in my game.
[C] And [Dm] I'm serious about making love.

[G] I [Dm] sure love me wearing it [Dm] out.
Now, [G] speaking about wearing it out, the reason why I wear it out is because I'm a jealous man.
And I don't want nobody tapping around with my stuff while I'm gone.

You see, [G] girls, [C] can y'all remember [Dm] when you first married your husband?

[Dm] He used to drive you to the movies [G] or wherever with [C] his left hand on the [Dm] thorn wheel and his right hand doing something like [G] this.
[Dm] You know what I mean, don't you?
And after [G] you get married to him for about [C] six years or [Dm] a little bit or whatever, then he drive with both hands [G] on the thorn wheel.
[B] You [Dm] almost fall out the car, set so far to the right.
[G] [Dm] You see, you take like [G] me.
[B] [Dm]
Every time I leave my [G] woman, [B] I make sure when I come [Dm] home, the first thing I do is pick [G] her up.

There where we can [G] do, first thing to do when they come home [Dm] is pat the dog on the [G] head, [B] rub the dog [Dm] gone cat, watch TV,
