I'm Gonna Strangle You Shorty - The Flatlanders

Half way to Louisanna

Half way from Alabam

I seen Shorty running down the highway

Looking like a worried man

I rolled down my window

Told him to hop on in

I never had to stop on the old blacktop

I heard a woman yelling after him

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

That is what she said

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

You're way up over your head

We pulled in to Tuscaloosa

Found a bar by the side of the road

I ordered us a order of french fries

Shorty went to lighten his load

When the waitress happened to see him

I never seen any woman so sore

The skillet come flyin' out the kitchen

And Shorty runnin' out the door

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

That is what she said

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

You're way up over your head

We pulled in to Texarkana

Shorty sweating his short lifespan

But sure as the wind gonna blow again

Here come that woman with that frying pan

I ran east and Shorty ran West

I never seen which way he went

Next day I saw his picture in the paper he was lying

By a frying pan whose handle was bent

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

That is what she said

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

You're way up over your head

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

That is what she said

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

You're way up over your head

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

That is what she said

I'm gonna strangle you Shorty Lordy Lordy Lordy

You're way up over your head
