Feudin’ and Fightin’ (1965) Songtext
von George Jones & Melba Montgomery

You don′t love me, and you never did
You won't even help me mind these kids
All you wanna do is, run around every night
Givin′ all the girls the eye

Well, you don't never comb your hair no more
You won't do the dishes, and you won′t sweep the floor
So, how can you ′spect me to take you anywhere
Lookin' like a grizzly bear

Every durn night, they′re a feudin' and a fightin′
Screamin' and a hollerin′, like thunder and lightnin'
Dagburn neighbors, can't never agree
It′s about to get the best of me

Keeps a sayin′ that I outta call a cop
Layin' here a hopin′ they'll stop
And the kids are a howlin′, til they woke ours too
Why don't they hurry up, and get through


Well, I shoulda known better, than to marry you
Better lookin′ critters, in the city zoo
You come home plastered, every night
And all you wanna do is fight

I do it, just to have a little fun
Have a drink of beer, when my work is done
I don't know why I ever bought that ring
Well, I guess I must a been insane

Every durn night, they're a feudin′ and a fightin′
Screamin', and a hollerin′, like thunder and lightnin'
Dagburn neighbors, can′t never agree
It's about to get the best of me

Well, my wife keeps a sayin′, that I outta call a cop
A hopin' they'd stop
And the kids are a howlin′, til they woke ours too
Why don′t they hurry up, and get through

And the kids are a howlin', til they woke ours too
Why don′t they hurry up, and get through
