Lyrics

Well he gave me fair warning he said let him alone

But I'd had one too many and refuse to go home

Then I said somethin' awful and then so did he

And he hit me and hurt me and my eyes couldn't see

Hard hard headed me I spoke out of turn once too often

I'd be better off in my coffin hard headed me

Well she gave me fair warning many times my wife said

She said if you aim to keep me quit your fool hearty ways

I said now listen woman you better leave me alone

How long is forever that's how long she'll be gone

Hard hard headed me...

[ Pa pa pa pa ]

Then they gave me fair warning all the folks in my town

They said if you ain't gonna straighten up we're gonna expell one clown

I said now just a minute here you can't do me this way

How far is to the next town I'm walking that away

Hard hard headed me.
