I love the women and I love 'em all the same

Lord I love the women and I love 'em all the same

But I don't love nobody well enough to change her name

The women make a fool out of me

My papa scolded me and my mama sits and cries

Lord my papa scolded me and my mama just sits and cries

And I had too many women for any little boy my size

The women make a fool out of me

[ guitar ]

When I'm in the parlor the girls think it's a treat

Lord when I'm in the parlor the girls think it's a treat

Lord even in the wintertime they turn off the heat

Women make a fool out of me

When I take a girl to dinner she hangs around my neck

When I take a girl out to dinner she hangs around my neck

She always pays the taxi while she even pays the check

The women make a fool out of me
