A once-I-know-it guitar picker lived his life in wine and liquor
Running around on one of them new machines
He was about the proudest feeling
Wheeling, dealing, sneaking, stealing
Aggravatingest man you ever seen
Nothing but a midnight rambler
Big as drunkard and a gambler
He'd do anything that wasn't nice
Hunting, golfing, fishing, swimming
Running around with about 40 women
Playing dominoes and shooting dice
Then one night while he was dining
While that moon was brightly shining
With his secret love, he was okay
He would laugh and call her honey
While she proudly spent his money
And they'd hug and smooch the time away
Laughing, joking, dining, dancing
Planning parties and romance
And having fun regardless of the price
Eating caviar and chicken
Strumming his guitar and picking
Playing dominoes and shooting dice
Well, then his wife walked in and found him
With that pretty girl around him
He started making headway for the gate
When he seen them girls divide
And he commenced the slipping, sliding
But he seemed to know it was too late
Crowds began to getting thinner
They jumped up and left their dinner
No one seemed to have a, an appetite
Not a person dared offend her
Everyone jumped out the window
No one hung around to see the fight
Well, his guitar, she took it and swung it
'Round his noodle she proudly hung it
Bruises, knots, and bumps began to rise
He commenced to squeal and holler
But she grabbed him by the collar
And then she plastered him betwixt the eyes
Lee jumped up and tried to squeeze her
But she warped him across the beezer
Pulled a pistol and shot him once or twice
When the wicked fight was over
He was laid beneath the clover
No more dominoes and no more shooting dice
