Bald-Headed End Of Th Broom

Cat. #0636 (MFH #71) - As sung by Paralee Weddington, Busch, Arkansas on April 30, 1968

VERSE 1
Come all young men take my advice
Don't be in a hurry for t' wed
You'll think your'in clover, till your honeymoon is over
An' then you'll think your dead

VERSE 2
Got a wife an' seventeen half starved kids
I'll tell ya it ain't no fun
When th butcher comes 'round with a bill t' collect
With a dog an' a double-barrel gun

VERSE 3
Well boys, keep away from th girls I say
An' give them plenty of room
For when you're wed, they'll beat ya till your dead
With th bald-headed end of th broom
