8/9/2019 William Marshal gimme a good horse

1/2

Ol William Marshal was a friend of mineOne night we stayed up late drinkin' cheap wineAnd long after it was time for us to go to bedHe leaned over his chair and says to meLogan, you know that I have daughters threeAnd it would please me greatly i f you took one of them to wed.

I resisted the urge to turn and fleeSince Marshal had treated me quite splendidlyI decided to meet the daughters on this man.

Looking back on it now I can see I was wrongAnd if you listen to the end of this songYou'll agree I should have simply up and ran.

Oh Marshal give me a good horse and I'll just ride awayAnd you can try to catch me if you can'Cuz I'm a single fella, and I just wanna playAnd a good horse is better than a woman any day.

Now Hildgarde was the oldest of threeHer eyebrows resembled iron filigree

with a wart on her nose that swear was big as a catShe had a space in her teeth as wide as a horseAnd her bony knees pointed the wrong way of courseand I wondered what the hell am I supposed to do with that?

Her hair was the color of something deadThis pile of muskrat attached to her headAnd I couldn't help but jump when she said my name;Her painful voice rang out like a bellScreeching out like a soul from Helland I screamed 'Get thee back to the place from which you came!!!"

Oh Marshal give me a good horse and I'll just ride awayAnd you can try to catch me if you can

'Cuz I'm a single fella, and I just wanna playAnd a good horse is better than a woman any day.

Eloise was the middle child

Her general state was far from mildI could tell she had one side - and it was badI gave her a smile and she winked at methen she bowled up her fist and punched me solidlyAnd... Oh god, that was the worst pain I ever had.

She continued to show her love for meWith love taps that would sink a ship at seaAnd I didn't know if I was gonna lastIt was then that she wanted to give me a squeeze

and wrap me up a tight as you pleaseThat I knew I had to get myself out fast!

Oh Marshal give me a good horse and I'll just ride awayAnd you can try to catch me if you can

'Cuz I'm a single fella, and I just wanna playAnd a good horse is better than a woman any day.

Now Constance was just as cute as can beShe could cook, and sing delightfullyAnd said she liked to snuggle on a warm rainy night

But when when I wanted to step outsideShe she screamed and stomped and yelled and criedEvery time that I tried to leave would start a fight.

Everywhere that I went she was right by my sideThere was no place on this earth I could hide

She clung to my neck like scarf made out of leadShe kept so close that I lost my breathAnd I knew this woman would be my deathSo i said 'Hey! Look over there!' ...and then I fled.

So Marshal give me a good horse and I'll just ride awayAnd you can try to catch me if you can'Cuz I'm a single fella, and I just wanna playAnd a good horse is better than a woman any day.

Yeah Marshal give me a good horse and I'll just ride awayAnd you can try to find me if you canI'll remain a single fella, 'cuz I just gotta sayThat a good horse is better than a woman any day.Yeah a good horse is better than a woman any day.
