Lyrics
Chorus:
Don’t leave your wife alone
Waiting for you at home
When you go out nights, I’ll tell you what
Maybe she’s waiting home and maybe she’s not
While you’re with Flo or May
Hunting a new Cafe
She may go out with a feller
And not drink sarsparilla
So, don’t leave your wife alone
Chorus:
Don’t leave your wife alone
Waiting for you at home
When you go out nights, I’ll tell you what
Maybe she’s waiting home and maybe she’s not
When you go out and chase
After a pretty face
She may go and do some chasin’
With some wise brother mason
So, don’t leave your wife alone
