Verse 1
G
This song was
made about a man and a woman.
This man wanted to marry the
woman she didn't want.
But she married him in the house,
for the money that he had.
And she thought she got him
with all her had,
but she was mistaken.
But she got him pretty well bent,
he sat there with his head hung down.
She walked by him, she said, Dad,
what's the matter with you?
He looked down
and heard what he said to her.
I sat down here wonderin'
would a matchbox hold my clothes?

She asked him, Papa,
what's the matter with you?
I don't want to be bothered
with no suitcase on my road,
I don't want to be bothered
D
G
with no suitcase on my road,
I don't want to be bothered
with no suitcase on my road.
He said I'm going to see my friend
and see what he was doing
his wife packing up a trunk.
Now what would you do
when your baby packing up a drum?
What would you do
D
G
when your baby packing up a drum?
Now what would you do
when your baby packing up a drum?
He looked at him
and he already told him.
Get your half a gallon whiskey
and get on your big drum.
Get your half a gallon of whiskey
and get on your groove.
