Your Ole Handy Man

Jan Howard · This Is Jan Howard Country [Decca] [1967]

(Dolly Parton)



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

Honey I just like to know who you think you are

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

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



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

And I have to strop your razor after you have had your bath

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

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



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

I know you got ten fingers right where's your helping hand

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

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



I do everything for you you never help yourself

And I think I die from shock if you raise a hand to help

Well I might gonna keep it up just what you've got planned

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



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

I know you got ten fingers right where's your helping hand

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

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



I love you but come on baby you're a big boy now

All those muscles are goin' to waste...
