Well, I don't know what my uncle did
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night

He had spent his whole life fussin'
Would have spent his last breath cussin'

'Til he realized the deal was really done

To my best friend I was clingin'
Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go"

Well then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later I begged and pleaded
A Ab
Screamin' "If you love me, honey,
