Your Ole Handy Man

Dolly Parton · The World of Dolly Parton, Vol. 1 [Sony] [1988]

(Dolly Parton)



I have to mow the lawn and I have to wash the car

And I'd just like to know just who you think you are

I'm gettin' tired of wagging that old heavy garbage can

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.



I have to run your water and I have to wash your back

And I have to scrub the tub after you have had your bath

You're as helpless as a baby but I love you, understand

I'm just gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.



Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man

Now I know you've got ten fingers but where's your helpin' hand

Ah, I've just made a decision, I've stood all I'm gonna stand

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.



--- Instrumental ---



I do everything for you you never help yourself

An' I think I'd die from shock if you raised a hand to help

Well, I'm not gonna keep it up that's what you got planned

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.



Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Now I know you got ten fingers but where's that helpin' hand

Ah, I've just made a decision, I've stood all I'm gonna stand

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.



Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man...
