Red Eye Songtext
von Turk Murphy

I had a fight with my wife last night
Beat her ′til my hands were sore
Then I sat down a while and I rested a while
Got up and beat her some more
All the folks in the town came a-rushin' around
To find out the reason why
And when they found out the reason I was beatin′ up my wife
They voted the whole state dry


What do you think of a woman like that
Who pretends to be your lovin' wife?
Tryin' to cut out the liquor in a man like me
Might as well cut out his life

I′ve been drinkin′ this whiskey for the past forty years
Don't intend to cut it out now
And if any other woman comes a-butt′nin' in my life
There′s gonna be another big row


I had a fight with my wife last night
Beat her 'til my hands were sore
Then I sat down a while and I rested a while
Got up and beat her some more
All the folks in the town came a-rushin′ around
To find out the reason why
And when they found out the reason I was beatin' up my wife
They voted the whole state dry
