Lyrics
Refrain
Eve cost Adam just one bone
But he couldn’t get away with that today
He never had no sealskin coats to buy
And there were no millinery bills to pay
She caused him trouble
And he got the weary blues
She liked to raise a little Cain, that is a fact
But she only cost him just one bone
And you can’t expect too doggone much for that
Refrain
Eve cost Adam just one bone
And you must admit he got his money’s worth
But even if he paid more than he should
Just remember lucky Adam owned the earth
She caused him trouble
And he got the weary blues
She was a bit too fond of apples, that’s a fact
But she only cost him just one bone
And you can’t expect too doggone much for that
