I Know a Man
I know a man who's so rich
That he says he's gonna take you from me
I know a man who's so rich
That he's got me scared as can be
I'll look for a hideout where we could hide away
But I'm so scared my hair is turnin' to grey
Oh, I can find a place that's gonna do
And he says he'll show all his money to you
I know a man who's so rich
That he's comin' here, take you from me
I know this man who so wants
Gonna bring us all this misery
I wanna shoot him dead
And spend all his money on you
But if I do and the law gets me too
What will your life be to you?
You gotta tell this man
My honey lamb
To take all his money and scram
To take all his money and scram
I know a man who's so rich
That he says he's gonna take you from me
I know a man who's so rich
That he's got me scared as can be
I'll look for a hideout where we could hide away
But I'm so scared my hair is turnin' to grey
Oh, I can find a place that's gonna do
And he says he'll show all his money to you
I know a man who's so rich
That he's comin' here, take you from me
I know this man who so wants
Gonna bring us all this misery
I wanna shoot him dead
And spend all his money on you
But if I do and the law gets me too
What will your life be to you?
You gotta tell this man
My honey lamb
To take all his money and scram
To take all his money and scram
