Two Whoops And A Hollar
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Joe Franklin
G C G
How come a man can fight and cuss and smoke and drink and chew
A7 D7
Step out on their wives and do the things they shouldn't do
G C G
But it's all right in the publics eye they say he's just a man
C G D7
But if a woman does one little thing she's not worth
C G A7 D7
Two whoops and a holler she's lower than a hound
G D7 G
If she drinks or smokes or tells a joke she's the lowest thing in town
C G
A woman has to dress the kids and send them off to school
A7 D7
And do her best in every way to live the golden rule
G C G
The responsibility she has is much more than a man
C G D7
But if she does one foolish little thing she's not worth

C G
If all the gals would stick by me we'd change the world around
A7 D7
We'd make the men walk on their knees and sleep out on the ground
G C G
What I'm really trying to say and I know you'll understand
C G D7
The women ought to rule the world cause the men ain't worth
C G A7 D7
Two whoops and a holler they're lower than a hound
G D7 G
I hope they croak it ain't no joke they're the lowest thing in town
C D7 G
They're the lowest thing in town
