Spotted Pony

Love it is a very funny thing
It catches the young and old
Like a meal of boarding house hash
Many a man it has sold
It'll make you feel like a fresh water eel
It'll cause your head to swell
You'll lose your mind 'cause love is blind
It'll take all your money as well

When your stuck on a pretty little gal
You'll talk as gentle as a dove
He spends his money and he calls her honey
To show that he's solid on his love
When his money's all gone and his clothes in a soak
He'll find the old saying's true
A mole on the arm's worth two on the leg
What is a feller to do

When married folks have lots of cash
Their love is fond and strong
When they have to live on hash
Their love doesn't last very long
With a wife and seventeen half starved kids
I'll tell you it's no fun
When the butcher comes for to collect his bill
With a dog and a double barrel gun

When the rent is high and the kids all cry Because there's no grub to chaw
You'll call for your son and load up your gun
While you vaccinate your mother in law
With a wife and seventeen half starved kids
I'll tell you it's no fun
When the butcher comes for to collect his bill
With a dog and a double barrel gun
