who told me of ev'rything she owned.
Show showed me her diamond bracelets
and talked about her stately home.
And all thru the conversation
her hand was on my knee,
but oh no country gentleman's wife
is gonna get possession of me.
2.)
She told me her country gentleman
was hardly ever at home
and if I would like to call on her
she'd make sure we were alone.
And if I liked we could have supper
with sparkling champagne,
but oh no country gentleman's wife
is gonna get me for game.
3.)
She told me her country gentleman
was sixty five years old,
and as she was only thirty one
her bed at night was cold.
And if I would like to warm it up
she'd shower me with gratitude,
but oh no country gentleman's wife
is gonna get me in the nude.
4.)
I said I was a man with principles
and respected the marriage vows,
but if she really wanted to
she might persuade me somehow
for one square meal of every day
an unlimited supply of booze,
and any old country gentleman's wife
can do anything they choose,
and any old country gentleman's wife
can do anything they choose,
