Subject: I WOULDN'T TAKE HER TO A DOG FIGHT

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
