ONE CALLED
THE FIRST YEAR BLUES
NOW I'VE BEEN MARRIED
ABOUT SIX MONTHS
ONLY SIX MONTHS
YOU SEE
THE FIRST THREE
MONTHS WAS ALL O.K.
BUT THE LAST THREE
IS KILLIN' ME
MY WIFE BEGAN
TO HISSIN'
SHE CUT DOWN ON HER
KISSIN'
AND THEN SHE FAILED
TO SHINE MY SHOES
MY SHIRTS BECAME
WRINKLED
MY PANTS WITH DIRT
WERE SPRINKLED
AND I TOOK
THE FIRST YEAR BLUES
WELL THEN SHE
STARTED NAGGIN'
SHE LEFT THE SINK
'A SAGGIN'
WITH DISHES
PILED UP HIGH
NO FOOD UPON
THE TABLE
SHE SAID IF I GET ABLE
I'LL COOK SOMETHING
BY AND BY
THEN I BEGAN
TO WONDER IF I'D MADE
A BLUNDER
WHEN I SAID I DO
SHE MUST HAVE READ
MY THINKIN'
HER EYES BEGAN
TO BLINKIN'
AND THAT GAL
BROKE IN TWO
WELL I HEARD
THE DISHES CRASHIN'
AND I BEGAN TO DASHIN'
GETTIN' OUT OF SIGHT
FOR RIGHT THERE
WAS MY HONEY
ON WHO I'D SPENT
MY MONEY
TURNIN' INTO DYNAMITE
THEN AFTER
SHE'D EXPLODED
HER MEANNESS
ALL UNLOADED
AND THINGS BEGAN
TO SIMMER DOWN
I FOUND MYSELF
'A BLEEDIN'
AND VERY MUCH
'A NEEDIN'
OF STITCHES
TAKEN ALL AROUND
WELL THEN
SHE STARTED CRYIN'
I FELT MYSELF 'A SIGHIN'
AND THEN I TOOK HER
IN MY ARMS
I WAS AFRAID
TO SCOLD HER
SO I JUST GENTLY
TOLD HER
SHE DIDN'T DO
A BIT OF HARM
NOW THE FIRST
SIX MONTHS IS OVER
AND I'M MUCH
THE OLDER
AND EXPERIENCED
WITH A WIFE
IF I CAN TAKE
THE NEXT SIX
MY FRIENDS ALL SAY
I'LL BE FIXED
TO TAKE IT
THE REST OF MY LIFE
