i'd rather switch than fight

Singer:george jones

well

i'd rather switch than fight anytime

there's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine

when it's time who's a-gonna hold him tight

i'm a lover not a fighter and i'd rather a-switch than fight

well

i was out with a red head last night

her boy friend caused a scene that was a sight

then he bowed about me and i took flight

there's a whole lot more of them pretty girls

and i rather switch than fight

well

i'd rather switch than fight anytime

there's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine

when it's time who's a-gonna hold him tight

i'm a lover not a fighter and i'd rather a-switch than fight

now my first wife was a lovely sight to view

but fuss and fight was all she cared to do

when she reached forty-four

well

i shoved her out the door

and i got me a couple that were twenty-two

well

i'd rather switch than fight anytime

there's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine

when it's time who's a-gonna hold him tight

i'm a lover not a fighter and i'd rather a-switch than fight
