[00:05.920]He would spend it on the ponies,
[00:08.900]He would spend it on the girls,
[00:12.150]Buy his mother gin and roses
[00:15.280]For her poor old henna'd curls.
[00:18.720]but when his wife said, "Hey now!
[00:22.150]What did you get for me?"
[00:25.260]He socked her in the chopper,
[00:28.410]Such a sweet sweet guy was he!
[00:31.300]And her tears flowed like wine,
[00:34.100]Yes her tears flowed like wine,
[00:37.680]She's a real sad tomato,
[00:40.820]She's a busted valentine.
[00:43.630]Knows her mama done told her
[00:47.650]That her man is darned unkind.
[00:52.070]
[00:58.830]How he loved the old race horses,
[01:02.430]He would bet them every day.
[01:05.210]One day he caught a winner
[01:08.330]And the cabbage wasn't hay!
[01:11.560]He indulged in fancy spending,
[01:15.000]Ordered rings, cars and furs,
[01:18.150]But alas, alack,
[01:20.000]Like a stab in the back,
[01:21.750]She found out they were not hers!
[01:24.870]And her tears flowed like wine,
[01:27.670]Yes her tears flowed like wine,
[01:31.110]She's a real sad tomato,
[01:34.660]She's a busted valentine.
[01:37.610]Knows her mama done told her
[01:41.050]That her man is darned unkind.
[01:45.040]
[01:51.530]He got mixed up with a Maisie,
[01:54.710]He got mixed up with a Flo,
[01:58.030]So Flo shoved him in the river,
[02:01.470]He'll not get mixed up no more!
[02:04.670]His wife then draped herself in black
[02:08.160]That showed her figure fine,
[02:11.280]Then she cussed him out, the two-faced guy,
[02:14.820]No insurance could she find.
[02:18.160]And her tears flowed like wine,
[02:20.750]Yes her tears flowed like wine,
[02:24.220]She's a real sad tomato,
[02:28.000]She's a busted valentine.
[02:30.820]Knows her mama done told her
[02:34.270]That her man is darned unkind.
