Tennessee Border # 2 - Ernest Tubb

There’s lots of mean women on almost any street

Lord There’s lots of mean women on almost any street

But I’ve got the meanest Mama that ever walked on two feet

That gal is so low down I often wonder why

Lord she’s so low down I often wonder why

That she keeps on livin' I guess she’s to mean to die

Now you triflin' women always say you love your man

Lord you triflin' women always say you love your man

And when he goes out the front door the back door lets a new man in

(Ah maybe two of them)

Now there’s two things in this world I don’t understand

Lord there’s two things in this world that I don’t understand

One of thems a woman the other ones a man

I’m gonna buy me a pistol I’ll think I’ll get a 44

Gonna buy me a pistol I’ll think I’ll get a 44

And when I get through shootin' that girl won’t step no more
