verse 1 Oh, I got me a woman she's a pretty good woman at that We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat She calls me 'Tex', makes me wear a cowboy hat But I don't care she's a pretty good woman at that verse 2 Nothing in the world make me treat that woman mean She shaves my beard and she keeps my tractor clean She burns my bread, makes me turnip greens But I don't care she's a best little woman I've seen Some folks they move out to California And some folks they stay in Tennessee And I don't care where I'm a headed Just as long as that woman stand by me Solo Some folks they move out to California And some folks they stay in Tennessee And I don't care where I'm a headed Just as long as that woman stand by me verse 3 Nothing I'd rather do than spend my nights at home Talking with my baby and blowing on the slide trombone She talks in turn oh, she really turns me on With a woman like that a man never wants to roam Some folks they move out to California And some folks they stay in Tennessee And I don't care where I'm a headed Just as long as that woman stand by me Just as long as that woman stand by me Just as long as that woman stand by me
