[78-L] "Woman Driver"

[Cary Ginell]

"Woman Driver" by the Carlisles (vocal by Bill Carlisle; Chet Atkins on guitar)

Mercury 6403
Released in 1952

Of all the things I ever seen
Worser than a fly on a jimson weed
Comin' down the road in a big machine
A burnin' up papa's gasoline

Woman driver
Drivin' woman
Look out, she'll hit you
Woman driver

Street full of cars
Traffic in a jam
Mighty tough goin' for a careful man
A woman comes along, not carin' where she goes
Stops in the middle just to powder her nose

No shinin'
Shiny nose
Pretty nose
Woman driver

She sticks out her hand
Turnin' left to guess
Or maybe she's a stopping' for a little rest
NO, I'm wrong, she's a-gonna turn right
A-wavin' at a man that she met last night

Hands flying'
Flyin' hands
Tongue a floppin'
Woman driver

She puts on her brakes while runnin' in low
Just to see what's on at the picture show
Parks her car by a big fire plug
Tries to beat the meter with an ol' edge slug

Breakin' the law
Law breaker
Jaw breaker
Woman driver

One day I bought a brand new car
I drove it in the country not too far
Big wide road four cars in a breast
Some hit the fender, you can guess the rest

Yes you can guess the rest.
