—Dave Woolum & Noah Craase, 1955
Now the wife and I the other night
We got in a fuss and we had a big fight
But I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
She really lowered the boom on me
My eyes ain't the color they used to be
And I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
Chorus:
Well I ain't a gonna let her do it
Ain't a gonna let her do it
I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
She done it once and done it twice
And I said honey that ain't nice
And I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
She cracked my head with a rolling pin
And hit me over and over again
But I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
Well she knocked me down an' beat me blue
I thought she was going to kill me too
But I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
Chorus
She beat me up as you can see
But she ain't gonna make no fool outa me
'Cause I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
I'm a goin' away, I'm leavin' today
I'm goin' to get out of that woman's way
'Cause I ain't a gonna let her do it any more.
