She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)

Dans le style de

Jerry Reed

Paroles

well i guess it
was back in '63
when eatin' my cookin'
got the better of me

so i asked
this little girl
i was goin' with
to be my wife

well she said
she would
so i said i do

but i'd-a said
i wouldn't
if i'd-a just knew
how sayin' i do
was gonna screw up
all of my life

well the first
few years
weren't all that bad
i'll never forget
the good times we had

'cause i'm reminded
every month
when i send her
the child support

well it wasn't
too long
till the lust all died
and i'll admit
i wasn't too surprised

the day i come home
and found my suitcase
sittin' out
on the porch

well i tried to get in
she changed the lock
then i found this note
taped on the mailbox
that said
goodbye turkey
my attorney
will be in touch

so i decided
right then and there
i was gonna do
what's right
give her
her fair share

but brother
i didn't know
her share was
gonna be that much

she got the gold mine
i got the shaft
they split it
right down the middle
and then they give her
the better half

well it all sounds
sort of funny
but it hurts too much
to laugh
she got the gold mine
i got the shaft

now listen
you ain't heard
nothin' yet
why they give her
the color
television set

then they give her
the house
the kids and
both of the cars

see
well then they start
talkin' 'bout
child support
alimony and
the cost of the court

it didn't take me long
to figure out
how far in the toilet
i was

i'm tellin' ya
they have
made a mistake
'cause it adds up
to more than
this cowboy makes

besides
everything i have
worth takin'
they already took

while she's livin'
like a queen
on alimony
i'm workin' two shifts
eatin' baloney
askin' myself
why didn't you just
learn how to cook

they give her
the gold mine
they give me the shaft
they said
they're splittin' it
all down the middle
but she got
the better half

well it all sounds
mighty funny
but it hurts too much
to laugh
she got the gold mine
i got the shaft

well she got
the gold mine
i got the shaft

they split it all
down the middle
and then
they give her
the better half

well i guess it all
sounds funny
but it hurts too much
to laugh
she got the gold mine
i got the shaft

ha ha you ain't kiddin'
i got the shaft
but i don't have
to worry about totin'
a billfold no more
ha ha ha ha

i'll let my wife tote it
i'm gonna be carryin'
food stamps
ya get it judge
i'm gonna be ha ha

that's not funny huh
i tell ya judge
i don't know
i don't know
