“The Scolding Wife (III)”
Description
"Oh, you've often heard it asked Why a woman talks so fast Oh, she runs around with every bit of news." The singer claims "a woman's tongue will never take a rest"; she talks while he works. He advises marrying a wife who is "blind, deaf, and dumb."
Notes
I should perhaps assign this song the keyword "humorous," since it was probably intended to be funny. But it isn't; it's just a whine. - RBW
