Well there once was a man called Broadway Jim He had the idea I was in love with him He came real close looked into my eyes Said I never met a man that I couldn't despise Then he cut off my tail with a carving knife Give me ten long years of trouble and strife Well the nice young men from the rodeo Came down to Virginia just to say hello They brought a lot of rifles and they brought a lot of guns Lord they were tryna have some good clean fun Next thing you know you're runnin' for your life For ten long years of trouble and strife Well I once had a man he was tall and lean He treated me like a superstar queen We had a little cat got stuck in a tree So we played him a record by Peggy Lee He said who is that woman? Gotta make her my wife Give her ten long years of trouble and strife There once was a girl called Sally G And she built herself a nest in a redwood tree Said goodbye to her mother said goodbye to her boss Sold her possessions at a terrible loss Then they tried to cut it down with a switchblade knife SongtexteTook 'em ten long years of trouble and strife I think I'm gonna move down to New Orleans Buy myself a pair of designer jeans Gonna see what's cookin' gonna make the rounds By the time I'm finished weigh a thousand pounds It's a doggone shame it's the story of my life Ten long years of trouble and strife Aus Songtexte Mania
