Raised Right Men

There ain’t enough raised right men

It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen

I said there ain’t enough raised right men

Heavens to murkatroid

Miners to coal

A good women can make a diamond out of a measly lump of coal

You need the patience of a glacier

If you can wait that long

Open up his window and admit it that you’re wrong

They’re ain’t enough raised right men

It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen

Mackey Debiasi

Was a complicated man

He quarreled with his woman

And she quarreled with her man

His head was just too thick

So she knocked out a tooth

He’s that lonely man on the Turnpike in the

Toll takers booth

They’re ain’t enough raised right men

Gunplay Maxwell and

Flat Nose George

Ice Pick Ed Newcomb

On a slab in the morgue

Flat Nose looked at Gunplay

And they all looked at me

With a good woman’s love we

Could have saved all three

And there ain’t enough raised right men

It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen

There ain’t enough raised right men
