I WOULDN'T TAKE HER TO A DOG FIGHT
Recorded by Charlie Walker
Words and music by T. Snow & L. Kingston
D My friend - he fixed me up
With E a girl he said he knew
He A7 guarenteed we'd get along just D fine ...{A7}
And D when I went to pick her up
I E found out what he meant
He A7 knows that strange and weary things
Are a G hobby of D mine.
CHORUS
D I wouldn't take her to a E dog fight
Or A7 any other place I've ever D been ...{A7}
D I wouldn't take her to a E dog fight
Not A7 even if she had a chance to D win.
Cu-ri-os-i-ty; They say killed the cat
And I've been the curious sort all of my life
I hung around convinced; She couldn't really look that bad
She got me drunk and when I woke up; I found I had a wife.
CHORUS
(Note. Changes to Eb on record - same chord progression)
Well, now the years have passed; Our daughter's in her teens
Her boyfriend comes; And hangs around the place
He never takes her anywhere; I don't dare ask him why
'Cause she's the spittin' image; Of her mama in the face. (And - )
CHORUS
