One Suit

One suit, one suit was all I had

One suit, one suit was all I had

One suit, one suit was all I had

And it was nothin' but an old gray, beat up plaid

I had the best lookin' gal in town

And she weighed about a hundred and eleven pounds

But I felt so shamed when I called on her

'Cause I was ragged as a great big

One suit, one suit was all I had

One suit, hmmmm one suit was all I had

One suit, one suit was all I had

And it was nothin' but an old gray, beat up plaid

Now the cups are frayed, the pants are shiny

Got a rip in the seam that ain't exactly tiny

Pleats in the front, belt in the back

I got a great like a shape of a flower sack

When my gal took me to her home

And her mama put the pots and the skillets on

But I ate one helpin' and that was all

'Cause if I gained a pound my suit would

Eww, be too small

I close my story with these few lines

As I stand here a-diggin' those men's wear signs

With my pockets empty as they can be

Well you're in bad shape, buddy

If you look like me
