Why Can't You Behave

Why can't you behave?

Oh, why can't you behave?

After all the things you told me

And the promises that you gave

Oh, why can't you behave?

Oh, why can't you be good?

And do just as you should

Won't you turn that new leaf over

So your baby can be your slave?

Oh, why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old hometown

Where we two can go and try settlin' down, yeah

There I'll care for you forever

Well, at least till you dig my grave

Why can't you behave?

Settle down and behave
