I've never seen it yet to fail

I'll never see it fail

A girl who's in love with a virtuous man

Is doomed to weep and wail

Stonecutters cut it on stone

Woodpeckers peck it on wood

There's nothin' so bad for a woman

As a man who thinks he's good

My mother used to say to me

When you grow up my son

I hope you're a bum like your father was

'Cause a good man ain't no fun

Stonecutters cut it on stone

Woodpeckers peck it on wood

There's nothin' so bad for a woman

As a man who thinks he's good

T ain't so

T is true

T ain't so

T is true

I've never seen it yet to fail

I'll never see it fail

A girl who's in love with any man

Is doomed to weep and wail

The clock just takes your life away

There's no relief in sight

It's cookin' and it's scrubbin'

And it's sewin' all day

And not much sleep at night

Stonecutters cut it on stone

Woodpeckers peck it on wood

There's nothin' so bad for a woman

As a man who's bad or good
