I’ll tell a story if you want me to
Buy me a beer is all you got to do
I’ll tell a tale about things I know
If you don’t like it just tell me so
I met some folks on the road today
They tried to kill me but I ran away
These kind of people are the kind you shun
The kind of folks you wanna stay away from
I had a woman once, her name was Jill
She started talking and she made me ill
She started singing and I almost died
You don’t believe me but I would not lie
I had a friend once, his name was Ted
He stole my woman and he wound up dead
Don’t ask me how ’cause I just can’t say
I only know today he’s in his grave
I had a dog of the terrier kind
Mangey, three-legged, deaf, and blind
I took him huntin’ every chance I could
One day I lost him in the deep dark woods
I’ll tell a story if you want me to
Buy me a beer is all you got to do
I’ll tell a tale about things I know
If you don’t like it just tell me so
