(I'LL BE GLAD WHEN YOU'RE DEAD) YOU RASCAL YOU
Words and music by Sam Theard.
As recorded by Coot Grant and Kid Wilson*

You sure is a rascal!

I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.
When you're dead in your grave,
No more women will you crave.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

I trashed[or "trust"?] you in my home, you rascal you.
I trashed you in my home, you rascal you.
I trashed you in my home.
You wouldn't leave my wife alone.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

I fed you since last fall, you rascal you.
I fed you since last fall, you rascal you.
I fed you since last fall,
Then you got your ashes hauled.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

You asked my wife to wash your clo'es, you rascal you.
You asked my wife to wash your clo'es, you rascal you.
You asked my wife to wash your clo'es
And somethin' else, I suppose.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

You know you done me wrong, you rascal you.
You know you done me wrong, you rascal you.
You know you done me wrong.
You done stole my wife an' gone.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

You asked my wife for a meal, you rascal you.
You asked my wife for a meal, you rascal you.
You asked my wife for a meal
And somethin' else you tried to steal.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

Please don't let me find you, rascal you.
Please don't let me find you, rascal you.
Please don't let me find you
'Cause you'll leave this world behind you.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

Ain't no use to run, you rascal you.
Ain't no use to run, you rascal you.
Ain't no use to run.
I done bought a gatlin' gun
And you're through havin' your fun, you rascal you.

I'm gone kill you just for fun, you rascal you.
I'm gone kill you just for fun, you rascal you.
I'm gone kill you just for fun.
The fuzz[or "bugs"?] gon' have you when I'm done.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.

You done messed with my wife, you rascal you.
You done messed with my wife, you rascal you.
You done messed with my wife
And I'm gonna take your life.
I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.
