Verse 1
(G major)
I always knew my dad was mean
and (C major) mo m was the gentlest
thing I've seen,
but (D major) one day a big bunch
of (C major) women
marched into town. (G major)
There's a -carryin' signs
and singin' a song,
when (C major) dad grinned at mom,
said, you goin' along?
(D major) She said, yeah, (C major) got up
and threw her ap (G major) ron down.
I guess for a minute, dad took it for a joke,
till (C major) she cleared the porch,
and then he spoke, woman,
(D major) pick up that ap (C major) ron,
get back in the (G major) house.
She kept on walkin' and Dad turned red
She (C major) got to the gate and
turned around and said
What (D major) do you think I (C major) am,
a woman or (G major) a mouse?
She said I'm a standin' for equal rights
I'll (C major) show you how a liberated
woman fights
He (D major) walked up and (C major) hit her right
between the (G major) eyes
She fell backwards,
false teeth a -flyin'
(C major) I started cryin', I knew she's dyin'
(D major) Dad is laughin',
(C major) great big tears in his (G major) eyes
She stressed out over three rows of peas
Dad (C major) was almost on his knees,
(D major) bent over double,
(C major) laughing till it made him (G major) blind.
In he was still bent over
when she made the kick for
the ex (C major) tra point.
Dad looked sick and whispered,
(D major) Dirty pool!
(C major) It went out of his (G major) mind.
Most any man'd about out of the race
cause (C major) she'd caught him in kind
of a tender place.
(D major) Not my dad.
(C major) He's too mean to (G major) quit.
So he'd tackle her down the
rhubarb patch.
(C major) He'd take a swing,
she'd take a scratch.
(D major) Every time she'd (C major) kick,
he'd cough and spit.
(G major) I don't know how long
they fought and fit,
but (C major) neither one would say, I quit.
(D major) She'd gum his ear
(C major) and he'd (G major) pour on the juice.
Long about dark, Dad said, Sister,
(C major) you're any man's match,
and kissed her.
(D major) She kissed him back.
(C major) I guess that was the (G major) truce.
So they sat down and planned
how things would be
(C major) now that Mommy was feeling free.
He (D major) offered her the truck,
(C major) money, and a better (G major) life.
But she said, Dad, you wear the pants
and (C major) if you'll just give me another chance,
(D major) I'll have the kids and (C major) be happy
just being (G major) your wife.
Well, they celebrated and
Dad got drunk,
(C major) dug way down into Mama's trunk,
(D major) put on her clothes and said,
(C major) Hey, look here, kids, (G major) I'm Maul.
You know, he wouldn't
usually drink
in front of us kids,
but (C major) he made a speech about
a woman's lip,
(D major) laughing and giggling.
(C major) He stood up and burned (G major) his bra.
Maul liked the diet.
(C major) She'd had a drink or two, too, you see.
(D major) Said that (C major) bra cost her 3 .98. (G major) She'd
only had it seven years.
(C major) Said it fit daddy better than it did her. (D major)
(C major) I'm tellin' ya, woman of liberation
(G major) is somethin' else.
It works pretty good around home.
