Adelia, My Darling
Written by John Austin Cater, III
Well a good friend of ours told me your good news
That you'll soon be wearing white from your head to your shoes
Then I heard who it was that you would soon wed
and I think I must warn you about what's been said
but how would you feel if I didn't call
You'd be furious at me if I said nothing at all
And warned you about all the bad things he's done
I swear to you Adelia he's a son of a gun
Adelia my darling don't marry that cowboy
He ain't no damn good as anyone can see
He's a ramble and a gambler, he'll never be faithful
I know one when I see one, he's just like me
Well her face lost all expression, she made a sound like she was choking
Her eyes turned into dots and her mouth just dropped wide open.
they say in life, if it's not one thing, it's another, the hell of it is its the
same thing over and over
It's a universal law, you just cannot cheat it
If you don't learn from the past, you are going to repeat it
Now that I've told you, don't you dare be surprised
When he's got lipstick on his zipper and tells you his lies
When your bank account is empty and your credit cards are gone
Don't say I didn't warn you, you knew it all along
but how would you feel if I didn't call
You'd be furious at me if I said nothing at all
And warned you about all the bad things he's done
I swear to you Adelia he's a son of a gun
Adelia my darling don't marry that cowboy
He ain't no damn good as anyone can see
He's a rambler and a gambler, he'll never be faithful
I know one when I see one, he's just like me
Adelia my darling don't marry that cowboy
he ain't no good as anyone can see
He's a rambler and a gambler, he'll never be faithful
I know one when I see one, he's just like me
I know one when I see one, he's just like me
