I Heard You've Been Layin' My Old Lady

Lyrics: Rusty Wier (note 1)
Music: Rusty Wier

Well, Joe, I thought we'd just sit down and drinka beer
I know you're wondering why I asked you here
Well, it's all around the town how you been seeing Sue
Now I called you here to see if it was true

I heard you've been laying my old lady
Hey, Joe, times must be getting tough everywhere
I heard you've been laying my old lady
Well I like you Joe, but wives are hard to share

Well, Joe and I, we talked a bit, but I still don't understand
How Sue could do all those things to me, and go off loving another man
Well, I've thought it out now, and there's just one way to go
I think I'll give Sue and those snotty-nosed kids to Joe

I heard you've been laying my old lady
Hey, Joe, times must really be getting tough everywhere
I heard you've been laying my old lady
Well I like you Joe, but wives are hard to share
