“I've Got No Use for the Women”

Description

"I've got no use for the women; A true one can never be found. They use a man for his money...." The singer tells how his partner killed a man who insulted his sweetheart's picture, and was himself killed and buried on the prairie.

Notes

What an excuse for not being able to find a girlfriend. - RBW

This uses more phrases from "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" than can be explained by coincidence. - PJS
