I once met a country gentleman's wife Who told me of everything she ownedShe showed me her diamond bracelet And talked about her stately homeAnd all through the conversation Her hand was on my kneeBut oh no, country gentleman's wife Is gonna get possession of meShe told me her country gentleman Was sixty-five years oldAnd as she was only thirty-one Her bed at night was coldAnd if I wouldn't like to warm it up She'd shower me with gratitudeBut oh no, country gentleman's wife Is gonna get me in the ***She told me her country gentleman Was hardly ever at homeAnd if I would like to call on her She'd make sure we were aloneAnd if I liked we could have supper With sparkling champagneBut oh no, country gentleman's wife Is gonna get me for gameI told her I was a man with principles And respected the marriage vowsBut if she really wanted to She might just persuade me somehowFor one square meal of every day An unlimited supply of boozeAnd any old country gentleman's wife Can do anything they chooseAny old country gentleman's wife Can do anything they choose
