[Verse 1]
G# D#
I once met a country gentleman's wife
Fm Cm G# Fm
who told me of ev'rything she owned.
G# D#
Show showed me her diamond bracelets
Fm A#7 D#7
and talked about her stately home.
C# D# G# Fm
And all thru the conversation
C# A#m D#7
her hand was on my knee,
Fm C# G# A#7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
C# D# G#
is gonna get possession of me.
[Verse 2]
G# D#
She told me her country gentleman
Fm Cm G# Fm
was hardly ever at home
G# D#
and if I would like to call on her
Fm A#7 D#7
she'd make sure we were alone.
C# D# G# Fm
And if I liked we could have supper
C# A#m D#7
with sparkling champagne,
Fm C# G# A#7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
C# D# G#
is gonna get me for game.
[Verse 3]
G# D#
She told me her country gentleman
Fm Cm G# Fm
was sixty five years old,
G# D#
and as she was only thirty one
Fm A#7 D#7
her bed at night was cold.
C# D# G# Fm
And if I would like to warm it up
C# A#m D#7
she'd shower me with gratitude,
Fm C# G# A#7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
C# D# G#
is gonna get me in the nude.
[Verse 4]
G# D#
I said I was a man with principles
Fm Cm G# Fm
and respected the marriage vows,
G# D#
but if she really wanted to
Fm A#7 D#7
she might persuade me somehow
C# D# G# Fm
for one square meal of every day
C# A#m D#7
an unlimited supply of booze,
Fm C# G# A#7
and any old country gentleman's wife
C# D# G#
can do anything they choose,
Fm C# G# A#7
and any old country gentleman's wife
C# D# G#
can do anything they choose,
