G A D Bm And all thru the conversation G Em A7 her hand was on my knee, Bm G D E7 but oh no country gentleman's wife G A D is gonna get possession of me. D A She told me her country gentleman Bm F#m D Bm was hardly ever at home D A and if I would like to call on her Bm E7 A7 she'd make sure we were alone.

D A I said I was a man with principles Bm F#m D Bm and respected the marriage vows, D A but if she really wanted to Bm E7 A7 she might persuade me somehow G A D Bm for one square meal of every day G Em A7 an unlimited supply of booze, Bm G D E7 and any old country gentleman's wife G A D can do anything they choose, Bm G D E7 and any old country gentleman's wife G A D can do anything they choose,
