Married Man Blues Lyrics

Ernest Tubb Married Man Blues

Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Listen all you rounder’s take a tip from me
Don’t you ever marry if you love your liberty

Don’t do it boy

oh-laydi-yay-oh-laydi-yay-oh-ladi-yii

A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
But when she gets you she’ll find an ace up her sleeve

oh-laydi-yay-oh-laydi-yay-oh-ladi-yii

Once I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
But now all I hear rattlin’ is this ball and chain of mine

oh-laydi-yay-oh-laydi-yay-oh-ladi-yii


When I was a singer I had girls by the score
When I was a singer I had girls by the score
But now I’m married and they don’t love me no more
