Artist: John Prine Album: Diamonds in the Rough Year: 1972
AD I come home from work this evening AE There was a note in the frying pan AD It said fix your own supper babe EA I run off with the Fuller brush man
Chorus: AD And I miss the way she used to yell at me AE The way she used to cuss and moan AD And if I ever go out and get married again EA I'll never leave my wife at home
AD Sat down at the table AE Screamed, and I hollered and cried AD And I commenced a carryin' on EA Till I almost lost my mind
(Repeat Chorus)
AD If I ever see another salesman AE Come a knockin' at my door AD I'm gonna pick up a rock and hit him on the head EA And knock him down on the floor
