he would spend it on the ponies,[00:00:05]
he would spend it on the girls,[00:00:08]
buy his mother gin and roses[00:00:12]
for her poor old henna'd curls.[00:00:15]
but when his wife said, "hey now![00:00:18]
what did you get for me?"[00:00:22]
he socked her in the chopper,[00:00:25]
such a sweet sweet guy was he![00:00:28]
and her tears flowed like wine,[00:00:31]
yes her tears flowed like wine,[00:00:34]
she's a real sad tomato,[00:00:37]
she's a busted valentine.[00:00:40]
knows her mama done told her[00:00:43]
that her man is darned unkind.[00:00:47]
how he loved the old race horses,[00:00:58]
he would bet them every day.[00:01:02]
one day he caught a winner[00:01:05]
and the cabbage wasn't hay![00:01:08]
he indulged in fancy spending,[00:01:11]
ordered rings, cars and furs,[00:01:15]
but alas, alack,[00:01:18]
like a stab in the back,[00:01:20]
she found out they were not hers![00:01:21]
and her tears flowed like wine,[00:01:24]
yes her tears flowed like wine,[00:01:27]
she's a real sad tomato,[00:01:31]
she's a busted valentine.[00:01:34]
knows her mama done told her[00:01:37]
that her man is darned unkind.[00:01:41]
he got mixed up with a maisie,[00:01:51]
he got mixed up with a flo,[00:01:54]
so flo shoved him in the river,[00:01:58]
he'll not get mixed up no more![00:02:01]
his wife then draped herself in black[00:02:04]
that showed her figure fine,[00:02:08]
then she cussed him out, the two-faced guy,[00:02:11]
no insurance could she find.[00:02:14]
and her tears flowed like wine,[00:02:18]
yes her tears flowed like wine,[00:02:20]
she's a real sad tomato,[00:02:24]
she's a busted valentine.[00:02:28]
knows her mama done told her[00:02:30]
that her man is darned unkind.[00:02:34]
