Buying a Book - Joe Tex[00:00:00]

I saw this old man with this young girl the other night[00:00:04]

I walked over to him and pulled him off on the side[00:00:08]

And I said pops what are you trying to prove[00:00:10]

I said I've seen you out here every night this week[00:00:14]

With a different young girl wrapped around your arm[00:00:16]

I said you can't keep this pace up uh[00:00:18]

Because these young girls[00:00:21]

Huh oh they'll certainly get you down[00:00:23]

He said son sit down here[00:00:26]

Lemme tell ya something[00:00:28]

He said all my life I've worked hard huh[00:00:29]

And I've saved up me a little money[00:00:32]

He said but just about the time I got me a nest egg saved[00:00:34]

I became a widow man[00:00:38]

He says and I'm 72 going on 73 years old[00:00:39]

And don't have too many more years to live[00:00:42]

Hah he said I know that I should be ashamed of myself[00:00:44]

Ha but he said[00:00:48]

Young girls is my weakness[00:00:49]

Oh yes they are huh[00:00:51]

He said so would you please[00:00:54]

Leave this old gray-haired man alone[00:00:56]

Mind your business heh heh let me and this young girl[00:01:00]

Have us a little bit of fun ehuh[00:01:03]

That's when I looked at him and I said[00:01:05]

I said all right pops you got her[00:01:06]

But listen ha ha ha ha here's all you're doing[00:01:08]

Oh yes oh yes oh you just[00:01:11]

Buying buyin' a book[00:01:15]

That's what I said to him[00:01:23]

I said listen to this here's all you're doing[00:01:24]

Buying a book for some young man[00:01:26]

That's what you're doing heh[00:01:29]

To read[00:01:30]

But don't do it[00:01:32]

Don't do it[00:01:33]

Don't do it[00:01:35]

Don't do it[00:01:36]

Oh don't do it[00:01:38]

Don't do it[00:01:38]

Send that young girl on home[00:01:40]

Mmmm mmm mmm[00:01:43]

Then there was this middle-aged woman whose name I dare not call[00:01:46]

Simply because you out there listening[00:01:51]

Just might know who this woman is[00:01:53]

But I can tell you this much[00:01:55]

The woman lives right here in your town[00:01:58]

I know you didn't know that did you huh[00:02:00]

I saw this woman with this young man[00:02:03]

In the broaden day time the other day[00:02:05]

I say miss lady you oughta be ashamed of yourself[00:02:07]

Ridin' around with this young man all hugged up like this here heh huh[00:02:10]

She said son oh son you're dippin' in my business[00:02:14]

But if you want to know why I fool with this young man[00:02:18]

I'll tell you[00:02:21]

She said I was married to a man 40 years older than I was[00:02:22]

Says for a long time I was true and faithful to that one man[00:02:26]

Says and last year he died and willed me a whole lotta money[00:02:29]

And I know that that young man sittin' in my car[00:02:32]

Just wants me for my money uh huh[00:02:34]

She said but if that's what it takes to keep the young fine thing[00:02:36]

Oh ho he can get every single dime[00:02:40]

Because it ain't nothin' an old man can do for me[00:02:43]

But show me which way a young man went hah hah[00:02:46]

Oh Lord oh oh[00:02:49]
