I Bawled

Took my girl home the other night.
Got myself in an awful fight.
She said, "Do, do, darlin', won't you please come in?"
Her old lady socked me with a rollin' pin.

Chorus

And I bawled. I bawled.

Oh, man, you should have heard me bawl.
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin. I don't meet with that old woman again.
Oh, yes, I bawled (I bawled.) I bawled. (I bawled.)
Oh, man, you should have heard me bawl.
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin. I don't meet with that old woman again.

Mon, the first time she hit me, she knocked me down.
Wouldn't even let me get off the ground.
I tried to tell of the rules of Queensbury.
She said, "Boy, cuts no ice with me."

Chorus

Oh, mon, talk about eternity.
That's what that encounter seemed to me.
She started to sneeze and I started to run.
Gone like a bullet from a machine gun.

Chorus
