Trouble And Strife Songtext
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
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
Took '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
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
Took '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
