Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon Just as wise as he could be Now I realized he could read the Good Book Back from Revelations down to Genesis You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church My buddy wants to take him a stand And he looks out upon that whole congregation The Good Book in his hand Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner All the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say ?] He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one: Every married woman got to have a little fun Read on over chapter twenty-two: It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three: She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me Read on back, over chapter ten: She shimmy one time, you got the problem again 'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife Loves nobody else but him, I mean, loves nobody else but him Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife Loves nobody else but him She stands by you all your life the chances is mighty and slim Now you read on over twenty-fifth page: Married womens, Lord, is hard to engage Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six: Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed Read on out, chapter twenty-eight: Who's that back slidin' out through the back gate ? I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine: Woman get tired of the same man all the time 'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
