man crazy

she left the home with the lathe operator

she was pushing 50

he was 61

her husband jack

he's raking leaves out the back

taking it out on his garden

in the summer sun

they always said she was man crazy

really they were glad that she'd run away

they always said she was man crazy

all the back fence bantams

finally had something to say

she had the personality of an iron maiden

he's gonna come home early

after working at the mill

and in the evening

there would be trouble on the doorstep

she's the valium vampire

he's the king of the sleeping pill

of those to see her go

perhaps i was the gladdest

she taunted me and scorned me all my life

i sing this e minor moan

because i'm glad she left the home

gonna let her calloused factory lover

get her into strife
