Charlie Walker - I Wouldn't Take Her to a Dogfight lyrics
Artist: Charlie Walker
album: Charlie Walker: Greatest Honky Tonk Hits
(Larry Kingston - Troy Snow)
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...
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...
