Well, I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all my life
Left me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow
Left me out in the cold rain and snow

Yeah she came down this stair
Combing back her long yellow hair
And her cheeks were as red as the rose
As the rose
And her cheeks were as red as the rose

Well, I've done all that I could do
To try to get along with you
And I ain't gonna be treated this a way
This a way
And I ain't gonna be treated this a way

Yeah she came in my room
Met with her final doom
And I ain't gonna be treated this a way
This a way
And I ain't gonna be treated this a way
