Lyrics
This morning I jumped on my horse and went out for a ride,
Some wild outlaws chased me and they shot me in the side.
So I crawled into a wildcat’s cave to find a place to hide,
But some pirates found me a-sleeping there and soon they had me tied,
Till a lady zombie cut me loose and begged to be my bride.
So I said I’d come back Wednesday, but I must admit I lied
‘Cause I run away into the swamp but I forgot my guide
And I stepped into some quicksand and no matter how I tried,
I couldn’t get out until I met a crocodile named Clyde
Who took me to some cannibals, who planned to have me fried.
They built a fire under me and I swear I almost cried
Till an eagle come and swooped me up and through the air we flied.
But dropped me in a boiling lake a thousand miles wide
And you know what happened then?
I died.
///

Ev’ry single day I go on my way
And I won’t worry about my baby,
Worry about my girl.

Found me another one. Love for her is gone
And I don’t worry about my baby,
Worry about my girl.

If she had to do the things she done,
She might have used more tact!
I can’t be responsible for all the love she lacked.

That’s pretty too, I’m telling you.

‘Cause ev’ry single day I go on my way
And I won’t worry about my baby,
Worry about my girl.
