Hard Headed Me

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

Well, he gave me fair warnin', he said let him alone



But I'd had one too many and refuse to go home



Then I said somethin' awful and then so did he



And he hit me and it hurt and my eyes couldn't see



Hard, hard headed me



I spoke out of turn once too often



I'd be better off in my coffin



Hard headed me



Well, she gave me fair warnin', many times my wife said



She said, if you aim to keep me, quit your fool hearty ways



I said, now listen woman, you better leave me alone



How long is forever that's how long she'll be gone



Hard, hard headed me



I spoke out of turn once too often



I'd be better off in my coffin



Hard headed me



Then they gave me fair warnin', all the folks in my town



They said, if you ain't gonna straighten up, we're gonna expel one clown



I said, now just a minute here, you can't do me this way



How far is it to the next town, I'm walking that way



Hard, hard headed me



Well, I spoke out of turn once too often



I'd be better off in my coffin



Hard headed me
