作曲:

Now friends you'd never guess it

So I really must confess it

I just met the sweetest woman

Of my long dismal life

But a friend of mine said buddy

Just in case your mind is muddy

Don't you know that girl you're fooling

With is Peg-Leg Johnson's wife

And that man is hard and cold and mean and grim

And he'll catch you and he'll brain you

With his artificial limb

But next morning bright and early

I stole old Peg-Leg's girlie

And I also took his wooden leg

Just to play it safe

But there weren't no time for laughter

'Cause he started hopping after

And I keep on running faster

But he won't give up the chase

And I'm running through the mountains with his bride

And I got his wooden leg here by my side

I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman

Being chased across country by a

One-legged fool

Though he's hopping and he's clapping

And he shows no sign of stopping

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel

Through the deserts and the valleys

And those dark Chicago alleys

Cross the muddy Mississippi

To the hills of Caroline

Through the mountains of Montana

And the swamps of Louisiana

Each time that I look back he's just about

One foot behind

And I know he must be cold and wet and sick

But in spite of all his troubles he can kick

Oh he's ragged and he's filthy

And I'm feeling kinda guilty

Specially in the evenings

When I hear him plead and beg

He says in spite of all your stealing friend

I bear you no hard feelings

You can keep that damned old woman

But please give me back my leg

'Cause old friend I know you think

You took my wooden leg

But in the dark you made a mistake

You took my good leg

I'm a three-legged man

With a two-legged woman

Being chased across country

By a one-legged fool

Though he's hopping and he's clapping

And he shows no sign of stopping

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel
