lirik lagu tennessee ernie ford – one suit
[chorus]
one suit, one suit was all i had
one suit, one suit was all i had
one suit, one suit was all i had
and it was nothin’ but an old gray, beat up plaid
i had the best lookin’ gal in town
and she weighed about a hundred and eleven pounds
but i felt so shamed when i called on her
’cause i was ragged as a great big
one suit, one suit was all i had
one suit, hmmmm one suit was all i had
one suit, one suit was all i had
and it was nothin’ but an old gray, beat up plaid
now the cups are frayed, the pants are shiny
got a rip in the seam that ain’t exactly tiny
pleats in the front, belt in the back
i got a great like a shape of a flower sack
when my gal took me to her home
and her mama put the pots and the skillets on
but i ate one helpin’ and that was all
’cause if i gained a pound my suit would
eww, be too small
[repeat chorus]
i close my story with these few lines
as i stand here a-diggin’ those men’s wear signs
with my pockets empty as they can be
well you’re in bad shape, buddy
if you look like me
