I have part of this on a tape, no info on who/when. It's old. It's bluesy, it's rockabilly, it's a little western swingish, it's.... wonderful! The tape cuts out before the end!

Although it's a man singing, it could be a woman's song, and you could flip the genders as well.

I was intrigued that it seems to follow the zipper-verse pattern of spirituals. I guess you could make up any number of verses. And, you could make it about "too many" of anything!

Here's what I have.

TOO MANY WOMEN WILL DRIVE A MAN INSANE

INTRO:
Too many women (shoo shoo)
Too many women (shoo shoo)
Too many women (shoo shoo)
Too many women's not good for you!

Too many women will drive a man insane.
Too many women will drive a man insane.
I'm tellin' you, boys, it don't pay to play the game.

You can have a score and get a dozen more,
You'll never be the same you were before, cause
Too many women will drive a man insane.
I'm tellin' you, boys, it don't pay to play the game.

Now listen here, fellas, I've got something to say,
To have too many women well it just don't pay cause
Too many women will drive a man insane.
I'm tellin' you, boys, it don't pay to play the game.

Instrumental Break

Now when you get lonesome, and you feel so blue,
You've had too many women, that's the trouble with you, say
Too many women will drive a man insane.
I'm tellin' you, boys, it don't pay to play the game.
