lyrics
Railroad Bill he took my wife
Said, “If you don’t like it I can take your life”
I said, “You already did
You took that girl of mine”
Lord, the cheatin’ kind
Lord, the cheatin’ kind
When they tell you that they need some space
That’s ‘cause somebody else is in your place
I wanted a worried woman to ease my worried mind
Oh, but I wound up with the cheatin’ kind
She don’t bother leaving out the back door no more
She got nothing to hide, nothing to lose
She come home with cologne all over her
And she smells more like a man than I do
I been lying here like a colicing horse
A .45 rifle is a poor man’s divorce
It’s the only way to ease your mind
Of the cheatin’ kind
Lord, the cheatin’ kind
I showed up at her front door
She cried, “What the hell are you here for?”
I said, “I come to pay my respects to the dead”
And I blew a hole right through her chest
“Just one thing I ask before you die
Tell me how do you get to bed at night?”
“With somebody else,” she did reply
Lord, the cheatin’ kind
Lord, the cheatin’ kind
Well, the stone that she put in our bed
Now marks the piece of ground where here body rests
And engraved on it, the name I knew her by:
“The Cheatin’ Kind”
Lord, the cheatin’ kind
