Nehi Blues

Some girls wear short dresses, and these married women wears 'em too
Some girls wear short dresses, and these married women wears 'em too
That's the reason single men, Lord, don't know what we want to do

When the proper judges make these women let these dresses down
When the proper judges make these women let these dresses down
Told that tremblin' soul, doggone, what you learnin' in town?

Women tarry too long, pullin' this short dress style
Women tarry too long, pullin' the short dress style
So we single men can't tell a married woman from a child

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Let me tell you boys what these nehi dresses will do
Let me tell you boys what these nehi dresses will do
Get you broke, ragged, and hungry boy, then come down on you

All of you women, you all oughta be ashamed
All of you young women, the whole lot oughta be ashamed
Makin' these old men naughty, when they're walkin' on walking canes

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

An old man ain't nothin' but a young woman's slave
These old mens ain't nothin' but a young woman's slave
He works hard all the time tryin' to stay in a young man's ways

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
