Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Had a friend, Louie Brown,
he was a deacon
Just as [G]wise as [D]he could be
Now you realize he could
read the [Bm]Good Book back
From Revela[A]tions down
to Genesee
[D]You know last Sunday morning
we was over to the church
My [G]buddy wants to [A]take [D]him a stand
And he looks out upon
[Bm]that whole congregation
The [E]Good Book in [A]his [D]hand
Now he cast his eye about
[G]And then he looks over in
the Amen [A]Corner
All the sisters commenced
to shout (What'd he say?)
He said
"A married man's a [D]fool

[Verse 2]
to think that [Bm]his wife
Will [A]love nobody else but [D]him"
She stick [A]by you [D]all of your life,
the [A]chances is mighty slim
Now you [D]read the Good Book, chapter

[Verse 3]
[G]
21:
Every married woman got to
[A]have a little fun
[D]Read on over [G]chapter 22:
It's a sin to let that woman
make a [A]fool outta you
Now [D]you read a little further,
[F#m]chapter [G]23:
She two- time you, brother,
like she [A]double- crossed me
[D]Read on back, [G]over chapter 10:
Shimmy one time,
you got the [A]problem again 'cause a

[Verse 4]
'Cause a [D]married man's a fool
to think that [Bm]his wife
[A]Love nobody else but [D]him I [Bm]mean
[E]Love nobody [A]else but him

[G][D][A][D][Bm][A]
[D]Well,

[Verse 5]
a married man's a fool
to think that his wife
Will [A]love nobody else but [D]him
She stick by you all of your life,
the [A]chances is mighty slim

[Verse 6]
Now you [D]read on over [F#]to
[G]25th page:
Married women's, Lord,
is [A]hard to engage
[D]Read kinda careful, [F#]chapter [G]26:
Back door slamming,
you got to [A]learn to get it fixed
[D]Read on out, [F#]chapter [G]28:
Who's that backslidin'
out through [A]your back gate?
I be[D]lieve I'll close on [G]chapter 29:
Woman get tired of the same
man [A]all the time

[Verse 7]
Well, a married man's a [D]fool
to think that [Bm]his wife
Will [A]love nobody else but [D]him
I [Bm]mean will [Em]love nobody [A]else but [D]him[A]
