Well I guess it was back in 63 when eating my cooking got the better of me

So I asked this little girl I was going with to be my wife

She said she would so I said I do but I d have said I wouldn't if I'd just knew

How saying I do was gonna screw up all of my life

Well the first few years weren t all that bad I ll never forget the good times we had

Cause I m reminded every month when I send her the child support

Well it wasn t too long till the lust all died and I ll admit I wasn t too surprised

When I come home and found my suitcase sitting out on the porch

Well I tried to get in she d changed the locks

Then I found a note taped on the mailbox that said Goodbye Turkey

My attorney will be in touch

So I decided right then &amp there

I was gonna do what s right: give her her fair share

But brother I didn t know her share was gonna be that much

She got the gold mine I got the shaft

They split it right down the middle and they give her the better half

Well it all sounds sort of funny but it hurts too much to laugh

She got the gold mine I got the shaft

Listen you ain t heard nothing yet why they give her the color television set

Then they give her the house the kids and both of the cars

Then they started talking about child support alimony and the cost of the court

Didn t take long to figure out how far in the toilet I was

I m telling ya they have made a mistake

Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes

Besides everything I ve had worth taken they ve already took

While she s living like a queen on alimony I m working two shifts &amp eating bologna

Asking myself why didn t you just learn how to cook

They give her the gold mine they give me the shaft

They said they's splitting it all down the middle and she got the better half

Well it all sounds mighty funny but it hurts too much to laugh

She got the gold mine I got the shaft

She got the gold mine I got the shaft

They split it right down the middle and they give her the better half

Well I guess it all sounds funny but it hurts too much to laugh

She got the gold mine I got the shaft

I got your shaft Well I don t have to worry about toting a billfold no more

I let my wife tote it I m gonna be carrying food stamps You get it judge
