Lustful Earl And The Married Woman - Tony Joe White

Now, big Earl Bradshaw, he was a lone wolf

He was always on the prowl

And when he’d go out to find a woman

You could hear his awful howl

Ahoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Ahoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Baby, I’m comin' for you

Ahoo, ahoo, ahoo

Now, Lucy Dorcey, she was a pretty thing

But you know, she was married

Whenever she see him, old big Earl coming

She’d hide the ring she was wearing

Ahoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, alright

This went on every night

Big Earl would howl for more

But then one night there came a-poundin' on the door

There went her husband, he knocked the door down

And he grabbed her ferociously

She said, «Earl honey, would you call the police

'Cause I believe, he’s a-killin' me»

He turned on Earl with the gun

There was no chance to run

He said, «You've had it, son»

But he’d missed and shot him through the knee

Well, old Earl, he jumped out the window

He was naked and limping down the road

And you could hear him howling in the distance

But he sounded like a wounded toad

«Ahooie, why did you shoot me in the knee?

I was just trying to do

The thing that comes naturally»
