Saturday night, honey, when I come home 
F                                   C7 
and baby, I was tired as I could be 
C7 
I saw this coat hangin' up on the rack 
C7                            F 
where I know my coat ought to be. 
F 
I said to my man, look here, darlin' man 
F                                      C7 
come here, please explain this mess to me. 
C7 
Whose coat is that coat hangin' on the rack 
C7                               F 
where I know my coat ought to be? 
F 
He said wife, oh, my darlin' wife 
F                            C7 
sweetheart can't you plainly see 
C7 
that ain't nothin' but an old choir robe 
C7                               F 
that your preacher left here for me. 

 
F 
Now I have traveled this world for a many miles 
F                            C7 
an' darlin' I hope to travel more 
C7 
but I have never seen a choir robe 
C7                             F 
with a fur collar on it before!

F 
Saturday night, honey, when I got home 
F                               C7 
I was still tired as I could be 
C7 
oh, baby, there was some shoes outside my door 
C7                           F 
where I know my shoes are supposed to be. 
F 
Now I said to my man, darlin' man 
F                                      C7 
you better really explain this mess to me. 
C7 
Whose shoes are those shoes outside the door 
C7                         F 
where you know my shoes supposed to be? 
F 
He said oh, wife, darlin' wife 
F                             C7 
sweetheart, can't you plainly see 
C7 
that ain't nothin' but an old pair of rain boots 
C7                       F 
an' my momma sent 'em to me. 

 
F 
Now I have traveled this world for a many miles 
F                  C7 
an' I sure hope to travel more 
C7 
I have never seen rain boots 
C7                        F 
with spiked heels on it before!

F 
Well, last night when I come home 
F                   C7 
tired as I could be 
C7 
oh, darlin', there was a head layin' in my bed 
C7                        F 
where I know my head's supposed to be. 
F 
Again I called my man, my darlin' man 
F                                              C7 
honey, I said, you better explain this mess to me. 
C7 
Whose head is that head in the bed 
C7                              F 
where my head is supposed to be? 
F 
He said oh, my wife, oh, my tired wife 
F                            C7 
sweetheart can't you plainly see 
C7 
that ain't nothin' but an old cabbage head 
C7                                               F 
and baby, you know what, your momma sent that to me. 

 
F 
Well darlin' I have traveled this world for a many miles 
F                           C7 
an' I know I’m gonna travel more 
C7 
but I have never in my life seen a cabbage head 
C7                      F 
with a hair net on it before! 

Outro 
C7 
Well I don’t know who he thinks he's dealin' with. 
C7                                          F 
I guess he been here just a little too long, 
F                  C7 
I might as well remind you darlin' that 
C7 
before I come home tomorrow night 
C7 
you better check your keys 
C7                       F 
cuz I’m not listenin' to this crap any more. 
F           C7 
If you will check it out you will now see 
C7 
your keys don't fit my door no more, darlin'. 
C7 
And nobody sent that door here 
C7         F 
that’s the same one been here all the time 
C7 
I just called the locksmith in and, I’m sorry about that. 
C7                                             F 
Back on up, back up, and go back to where ever that cabbage head is. 
F                     C7 
Go back to there, cuz you ain't got no right here, 
C7 
and I mean I have had it, I’ve had it, up to here, 
C7                                  F 
and I’m not goin' to say my darlin' man no more 
F                               C7 
cuz you are not my darlin' man. 
C7 
In fact, if you want to be safe, you better start runnin'. 
C7 
You know what, do you see this package I got in my hand? 
C7                   F 
And this is ain't no Christmas present either. 
F                                C7 
What does it look like to you? A shotgun, you ain't never lyin'. 
C7 
Let’s see how fast you can move, ah-listen, 
C7 
I know-you better put your glasses on cuz 
F                                 C7 
you are really the blind one here. 
C7 
Take a good look, baby, and I’ll tell ya 
C7 
I got one shell and I admit I am an expert shooter, 
C7      F                                           C7 
and the back of your butt will make an excellent target. 
C7 
MOVE! Get outta here, you stinkin' liar! 
C7              F 
Get outta here. Never in my life! Hmph...
