I Wouldn’t Take Her To A Dogfight - Charlie Walker

My friend he fixed me up with a girl he said he knew

He guaranteed we’d get along just fine

And when I went to pick her up I found out what he meant

He knows that strange and weird things are a hobby of mine.

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Or any other place I’ve ever been

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

not even if she had a chance to win.

Curiosity they say killed the cat

And I’ve been the curious sort all of my life

I hung around convinced she couldn’t really look that bad

She got me drunk and when I woke up I had a wife.

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Or any other place I’ve ever been

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Not even if she had a chance to win.

Well, now the years have passed and our daughter’s in her teens

Her boy friend comes and hungs around the place

He never takes her anywhere I don’t dare ask him why

'Cause she’s the spittin' image og her mama in the face,

And I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Or any other place I’ve ever been

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Not even if she had a chance to win.

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Or any other place I’ve ever been

I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight

Not even if she had a chance to win…
