I've got me a woman, she's a pretty good woman at that
We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat
She calls me Tex and makes me wear a cowboy hat
But I don't care 'cause she's a pretty good woman at that

I like nothin' better than to spend my nights at home
I listen to my baby playing her slide trombone
She talks in tongues and boy that turns me on
With a woman like that a man need never roam

And some folks get themselves to Heaven
Some folks stay in Tennessee
I don't care where I'm headed
Just as long as that woman stays with me

Nothin' in the world make me treat my woman mean
She trims my beard, she keeps my tractor clean
She cooks my food, she brings me turnip greens
Yeah, I know she's the best little woman I've seen

Some folks get themselves to Heaven
Some folks stay in Tennessee
I don't care where I'm headed, no
Just as long as that woman stays with me
