Wives and Girlfriends

Well, I love my wives

And I love my girlfriends

And may they never meet

May they never know each other

When they pass on the street

Hell, I might be a Mormon

Or I might be a heathen

Or a gambler, I just don't know

But I love my wives

And I love my girlfriends

I turn them all out and let them all go

Wife number nine she sure was fine

So was number seven

Oh, number six still makes me sick

So does number eleven

Sweet Jolene from New Orleans

Showed up during number five

And I got caught with my britches down

And I barely made it out alive

Well, I love my wives

And I love my girlfriends

And may they never meet

May they never know each other

When they pass on the street

Hell, I might be a Mormon

Or I might be a heathen

Or a gambler, I just don't know

But I love my wives

And I love my girlfriends

I turn them all out and let them all go

Wife number one was a whole lot of fun

And number two had her own deal

Wife number three, blue eyed number four

And eight was even more unreal

Sweet Ann Mary from Tucumcari

Had me thinking about settling down

Betty Lou and his sister Sue

Came calling when I hit their town

(2x):

Well, I love my wives

And I love my girlfriends

And may they never meet

May they never know each other

When they pass on the street

Hell, I might be a Mormon

Or I might be a heathen

Or a gambler, I just don't know

But I love my wives

And I love my girlfriends

I turn them all out and let them all go
