Pinchbacks, Take 'Em Away (04-04-24) |
I fell in love with a sweet man once |
He said he loved me too |
He said if I’d run away with him |
What nice things he would do |
I’d travel around from town to town |
How happy I would feel |
But don’t you know he would not work |
Girls, take this tip from me |
Get a working man when you marry |
And let all these sweet men be |
Child, it takes money to run a business |
And with me, I know, you girls will agree |
There’s one thing about this married life |
That these young girls have got to know |
Say, if a sweet man enter your front gate |
Turn out your light and lock your door |
Yes, get a working man when you marry |
Let all these pinchbacks be |
Child, it takes money to run a business |
And with me, I know, you girls will agree |
And if this panic stay on much longer |
I’ll hear all these young girls say |
That it’s a long way to Oklahoma |
But these little pinchbacks, take them away |
