Lyrics:
Bet you a dollar
Bet you a dime
So stuck on a woman
Oughta be a crime
Some days she’s home waitin’
Some days she’s in town
Some days she be smilin’
Some days she’s all frowns
She comes home in the morning
‘bout a quarter to ten
She ain’t got nothin’ to say
She says she ain’t been cheatin’
But she hurt me just the same
She lost all our money
In a poker game
Don’t know for sure where
Don’t for sure when
You see, she been out all night drinkin’
With them gamblin’ men
I used to be happy
But now I’m so down
It sure as hell is hard to love
That Jennifer Brown
Last night we went out jukin’
Just to have a good time
I had me fifty dollars
I was feelin’ fine
Sittin’ at a table
A fellow passed by
He was kinda tipsy
And he spilled his wine
But Jenny couldn’t leave
Well enough alone
She had to have somethin’ to say
She had to pick a fight
With a patron or two
And then she points at me
And says, he said so, too
Don’t know for sure who
Don’t know for sure why
But I’m gonna be sportin
A brand new black eye
I used to be happy
But now I’m so down
It sure as hell is hard to love
That Jennifer Brown
I used to drive a pickup
Had a real good gig
Savin for a house
Yeah, I was thinkin’ big
Move out of the city
And all it’s evil ways
Pretty soon
There’d be better days
But Jenny got to thinkin’
One fine day
That she needed somethin’
New to wear
So she took all our money
And headed down town
And she was loaded for bare
Don’t know for sure where
Don’t know for sure when
But our money’s in the pocket
Of some retailin’ men
Oh I used to be happy
Now I’m so down
It sure as hell is hard to love
That Jennifer Brown
Yes it sure as hell is hard to love
That Jennifer Brown.
