Текст песни

Well, now friends you'd never guess it so I really must confess it

I just met the sweetest woman in 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 old Peg-Leg Johnson's wife

And that man is hard and cold and mean and grim

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

Now I keep on running faster but he won't give up the chase

So now I'm running through the mountains with his bride

And I got his wooden leg right by my side.

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

Being chased by a one-legged fool

Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin'

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.

'Cross the deserts and the valleys and the dark Chicago alleys

'Cross that mighty Mississippi to the hills of Caroline

'Cross the mountains of Montana to the swamps of Louisiana

Every time that I look back he's just one leg behind

And I know he must be cold and wet and sick

But in spite of all his woes he still can kick!

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

Being chased by a one-legged fool

Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin'

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.

Now 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 the blamed old woman, just give me back my leg!

'Cause although that leg you meant to take was wooden

In the dark by mistake you took my good 'un!

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

Being chased by a one-legged fool

Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin'

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.

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

Being chased by a one-legged fool

Oh he's hoppin' and he's floppin' but he shows no sign of stoppin'

I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel.
