Lyrics

Well, my first wife done gone away and left me. My second wife eventually left me too. And my third little wife was very, very fond Of the milkman and the postman too. My fourth wife never even came home. Number five went out for groceries and new shoes. And my sixth little wife really sticks like glue She’s written there on my new tattoo. To all my ex-wives living in some foreign land. You probably don’t miss me but I think you ought to wish me. For doing you the best that I can. For rockin you the best that I can momma. For doing the best that I can. My first wife sent me a postcard Somewhere from the great Mid-West. She says livin’ here is easy and all the boys They seem to please me better than you could ever guess. My fourth wife dropped me a phone call Said that she’d be passing through, She formed a rock band with number three and five They’re headlining down there at the zoo. To all my ex-wives living in some foreign land. You probably don’t miss me but I think you ought to wish me. For doing you the best that I can. For rockin you the best that I can momma. For doing the best that I can.
