Married Man's a Fool

Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon

Just as wise as he could be

Now, you realize he could read the Good Book back

From Revelations down to Geneses

You know, last Sunday morning we was over to the church

My buddy wants to take him a stand

And he looks out upon that whole congregation

The Good Book in his hand

Now, he cast his eye about

And then he looks over in the Amen Corner

All the sisters commenced to shout

(What he say?)

He said

A married man's a fool

To think that his wife will love nobody else but him

She'll stick by you all of your life

The chances is mighty slim

Now, you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one

Every married woman's got to have a little fun

Read on over to chapter twenty-two

It's a sin to let that woman make a fool out of you

Now, you read a little further, chapter twenty-three

She'll two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me

Read on back over chapter ten

Shimmy one time, she got to wobble again

'Cause a

'Cause a married man's a fool

To think that his wife will love nobody else but him

I mean, love nobody else but him

Well, a married man's a fool

To think that his wife will love nobody else but him

She'll stick by you all of your life

The chances is mighty slim

Now, you read on over the twenty-fifth page

Married womens, Lord, is hard to engage

Read kinda careful chapter twenty-six

The back-door's slammin', you gotta learn to get it fixed

Read on over to chapter twenty-eight

Now, who's that backslidin' out through your back gate?

I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine

A woman get tired of the same man all the time

'Cause a

A married man's a fool

To think that his wife will love nobody else but him

I mean, love nobody else but him
