—Onie Wheeler
Chorus:
Well I guess I might as well hang my britches up
I guess I might as well hang my britches up
Since she wears the britches I wash the dishes
She's a makin' my life mighty rough
I guess I might as well hang my britches up
Well my gal got a little job in town
She's a makin' more money'n anybody around
That's a-what's a-makin my poor heart sad
Cause she's a-been named the poor old dad(?)
Chorus (alt):
…Since she wears the britches I sew the stitches…
Well it didn't used to be this way
When I was the one that brought home the pay
She had to be good to poor old dad
Or I wouldn't give her none of what I had
Chorus
Well I've been thinkin' about goin to work
So I could wear the britches instead of a skirt
I really don't mind workin real hard
Cause I ain't lazy, just a little bit tired
Chorus
