The Man in the Moon

歌詞

It was hard bein' married to Charlie It was no kind of regular life He never stopped ramblin' or drinkin' or gamblin' At least not while I was his wife I never knew what he was up to Except for those postcards he'd send Just a coupla lines to say he was fine And he'd sign them "C. Poole, your old friend" Now and again out of nowhere He'd come back with his hat in his hand And I could never stay angry With that dear sweet impossible man Sometimes he'd sing in the kitchen Sometimes we'd cuddle and spoon But mostly I couldn't help feeling Like I married the man in the moon He always had his explanations Like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth It was never his fault, and when he got caught He'd call me to come bail him out No matter how much I pleaded He just wouldn't take care of himself He collapsed in the street, so broke down an' beat There was nothin' I could to help Now and again out of nowhere He'd come back with his hat in his hand And I could never stay angry With that dear sweet impossible man Sometimes he'd sing in the kitchen Sometimes we'd cuddle and spoon But mostly I couldn't help feeling Like I married the man in the moon It was hard bein' married to Charlie
