My Wife Won't Leave
Recorded by Boxcar Willie
Written by Llone S. Martin

G
Now gather around me people
                                   C
I wanna tell you about a wonderful life
D7                                          G
Oh the things I could do if I didn't have a wife
 
                                         C
Go out to California find me a Hollywood star
           D7
And me and that fancy lady 
                            G
Drive around it a brand new car
       C          G                       C
But my wife won't leave said I'm good for life
    D7                                          G
But oh the things I could do if I didn't have a wife 
 
                                             C
Go up to New York City just mess around Time Square
D7
When I got through with old city
                             G
New York would know I'd been there
       C          G                             C
But my wife won't leave she said I'm hooked for life 
    D7                                          G
But oh the things I could do if I didn't have a wife
 
                                                C
Go down to Miami Florida just lay around in the sand
D7
Find me a bikini clad baby 
                          G
And feel like a brand new man
       C          G                         C
But my wife won't leave said I'm hooked for life
    D7                                          G
But oh the things I could do if I didn't have a wife
 
                                            C
Go down to the Caribbean get me a gallon of rum
                     D7
Do the mumbo and the limbo
                        G
Boys that would be some fun 
       C          G                         C
But my wife won't leave said I'm hooked for life
D7                                              G
Oh but the things I could do if I didn't have a wife
 
 
Well guess I better get on home
                         C
I forgot to take out the trash
D7                                          G
Oh the things I could do if I didn't have a wife
