Tony Joe White - "Lustful Earl And The Married Woman" [Live from Austin, TX] chords
Start Jamming...
I'd like to do a song about a guy who gets in a little bit of trouble,
and [E] he gets out of it pretty good.
It's called Lustful Earl and the Married Woman.
[A] [E] [Em]
[G] [E] Big Earl Bradshaw, he was a lone wolf.
He was always on the prowl.
And when he'd go out to find a woman,
he would hear [G] [E] his soulful howl.
[Em] Ooh.
[E] [A]
Ooh.
[E]
[A] Baby, I'm coming for [E] you.
[A]
[E] Now, Lucy Dawson, she was a pretty thing.
But you know, she was married.
And when she seen old Big Earl coming,
She [A] would hide [G] the reins, [E] it was why I ran.
[Bm] [A] They had some love and [E] some wine,
[A] This went on [E] every night.
[E] Big girl would hide from boy,
[A] Then one night [G] there came a pounding,
[Em]
Well, her husband, [E] he knocked the door,
And he grabbed her,
She said, Earl, hon, would you call the police,
Cause I [G] believe [E] he's killing me.
[A] But he turned on her with a gun,
[Bm] [A] There was no chance [Em] to run,
[A] He said, you've had it son,
[Em]
But he missed [Gm] and shot him [Em] through the knee.
[E] Well, Earl [E] jumped out the window,
He was naked and limping down the road,
[Em]
[E] And [Em] you could hear him [E] howling in the distance,
That [A] he sounded [G] like a wounded cow.
[E] Oh,
[Em] [E] Why [A] did you shoot me in [Em] my knees?
[E] [A] I was just trying to [Em] do
[E] [A] What's all that comes [G] now to do.
[N] Thank y'all!
