Old Maid

作词 : Jape Richardson

作曲 : Jape Richardson

Well, I'll tell you a story of a burglar man

He-a went to rob a house, huh

He raised up the window and in he crept

Just as softly as a mouse, huh

A-thinkin' of the money he was goin' to rob-a

As under the bed he lay-a

That cat sure saw a sight that night

That made his hair turn gray

Heh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

About nine o'clock, an old maid came in-a

Ha,"I'm awfully tired", she said, heh-heh

Thinkin' that everything was alright

She forgot to look under the bed-a

A-well, she pulled out her teeth, her big glass eye

The hair right off of her head, huh

That chick was comin' all apart, heh-ha-ha

The burglar had 'bout nineteen fits

And he came from under the bed-a

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

What a mess

Well-a, from under the bed-a, the burglar came-a

He was a total wreck-a

The old maid, she didn't holler at all

She just grabbed him 'round the neck

And from her drawer, a revolver she drew-a

To the burglar man, she said-a

"Young man, if you don't kiss me now

I'll blow off the top of your head", ah-ha-ha-ha

A-well, he looked at her teeth-a, her big glass eye

He had no place to scoot-a

He said to the old lady standin' there

"Woman, for the Lord's sake-a

Woman, for the Lord's sake

Woman, go ahead and shoot"
