Diana Ross - Big Mable Murphy lyrics

Your rating:


Way back in '29...1929

Somewhere in Coffeeville.

Was a Honkytonk, named Big Mable Murphy



She had a sweetheart, Mean Little Melvin

And hell would fly between them every Saturday night

Why? Because Little Melvin

He got wild on bathtub gin

Well it made him feel like he was almost twice his size

So he'd try to take over and sass big Mable

But her great big fist would black little Melvin's eyes.

Ya see, Big Mable Murphy

She loved her Little Melvin

But he never did learn to do just what she said

Cause poor Little Melvin, work up early every morning

With two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head.



Late one rainy night

Scarface, muscle and all might,

He came in and started shoving everybody around.

Well, Big Mable Murphy

She was way back in the kitchen

So just for fun ol' Scarface, shot Little Melvin down



Early next morning

Down by the river

They say old Scarface was found real short of breath

They say he died, uh oh, the man died

From a good ol' whipping

He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head



Big Mable 

Big Mable Murphy

She gave him two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head.
