Half way to Louisanna, 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 sweatin his short lifespan But sure as the wind gonna blow again Here come that woman with that fryin' 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 lyin By a fryin pan whose handle was bent Chorus 2x
