Fight and Scratch - Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton

Fight and scratch fight and scratch that’s all we ever do There surely must be more to love than to fight and scratch with you

You you to fight and scratch with you

Well you just bought a foal last month now you want a wig

It looks like you couldn’t understand my paycheck ain’t that big

Well what about the dough you lose in them poker games downtown

I figured you’d mention that smart aleck

Yeah and that brand new boat and that fishin’gear

But no uhhuh I don’t reckon that’d count really

Fight and scratch fight and scratch…

Sometimes I swear I think that you’re the devil in disguise

Cause when you’re mad you oughta see the fire fly from your eyes

Well you don’t look so cute yourself when you’re mad at me And if you don’t like the way I look then you know how to leave Bossy Catfish

Fight and scratch fight and scratch…

Well I love you and you love me but we’re always findin’fault

But the way we fight you wouldn’t know that we had any love at all

We just fight like cats and dogs we’ll leave then come right back

For what excitement would we have if we didn’t fight and scratch

Fight and scratch fight and scratch…

Why don’t you drop dead oh you’d like me to and I’ll live forever just for spite

Why don’t you keep your big mouth shot

Well why don’t you just make me if you think you’re big enough

Yeah and I could whip you with both hands tied behind

Yeah you just try it with me and I’ll knock your brains out

With a stick of soap that’s good Catfish

What’s a catfish why’d you call me that

They’re all mouth and no brains boy that’s really good

It’s all I can do to keep from laughin’hah

That’s funny you sure are a fynny little fellow
