Two Whoops and a Holler
Jean Shepard · The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]
(Joe Franklin)
How come a man can fight and cuss
And smoke and drink and chew
Step out on their wives and do
The things they shouldn't do.
But it's all writin' in public side
They say he's just a man
But if a woman does funny little things
She's not worth a ?d?a?m?n.
Two woops and a holler
She's lower than a hound
If she drinks or smokes or tells the jokes
He's a lowest thing in town.
A woman has to dress the kids
And send them off to school
And do her best in every way
To live the golden rule.
The responssibility she has
Is much more than a man
But if she does one foolish little things
She's not worth a d?a?m?n.
Two woops and a holler
She's lower than a hound
If she drinks or smokes or tells the jokes
He's a lowest thing in town.
--- Instrumental ---
If all the gals would stick by me
We'd change the world around
We'd make the men walk on their knees
And sleep out on the ground.
What I'm really tryin' to say
And I know you'll understand
The women up to rule the world
'Cause a man ain't worth a d?a?m?n.
Two woops and a holler
They're lower than a hound
I hope they croak, it ain't no joke
They're the lowest thing in town.
They're the lowest thing in town...
