Cryin baby - honey don't you want to go?  
Back to the land of California - to my sweet home Chicago.

Somebody will tell me that you need my help someday, cryin.  
Hey, hey - baby, don't you want to go?  
Back to the land of California - to my sweet home Chicago.

 (spoken:) You tied up, you better stay tied up, 'cause it's cheaper  
           to keep her - this is from T, who says:  

       C7  
 It's cheaper to keep her  
       F7  
 It's cheaper to keep her  

Verse 1:  

  C7  
 When your little girl makes you mad  
  F7  
 And you get an attitude and pack your bags  
  G7  
 Five little children that you're leavin' behind  
  F7  
 Son, you're gonna pay some alimony or do some time  

Chorus:  

                   C7  
 That's why it's cheaper to keep her (1: help me say it, y'all)  
       F7                            (2: everybody sing along with me)  
 It's cheaper to keep her (it's cheaper to keep her)  
      G7  
 [1: When you get through starin']        that judge in the face  
 [2: By the time you get through lookin']  
         F7  
 You're gonna want to cuss the whole human race  
                   C7  
 That's why it's cheaper to keep her (it's cheaper to keep her)  
 Eb7  
    [2: It's cheaper to keep her] (it's cheaper to keep her)  
         C7  
 (It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper)  
 (It's cheaper to keep her)  

Verse 2:  

 You didn't pay but two dollars to bring the little girl home  
 Now you're about to pay two thousand to leave her alone  
 You see another woman out there and you want to make a change  
 She ain't gonna want you 'cause you won't have a damn thing  

[repeat chorus]  

 I know you think the grass is greener 
 Way over on the other side 
 When that judge gives you that dirty look 
 You may as well put your money in mama's pocketbook 
Coda [background voices continue to fade]: 
                   C7 
 That's why it's cheaper to keep her (it's cheaper to keep her) 
                       Eb7 
 It costs too much to leave her alone, yeah 
              C7 
 I know it's cheaper to keep her 
                              Eb7 
 'Cause you're gonna pay some alimony if you leave home 
                      C7 
 I tell y'all - it's cheaper to keep her - all the fellows I know 
  are talkin' about it 
       Eb7 
 It's cheaper to keep her, I gotta tell you

Riders in the Sky

When one hears this..its a good bet they have heard it before and will

Ghost Riders In The Sky 
 
    Em                                 G 
1. An old cowpoke went riding out one hot and windy day, 
    Em                                 G        B7 
   Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way, 
         Em 
   When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw, 
       Am                                  Em 
   A plowin through the ragged skies, and up the cloudy draw. 
 
CHORUS: 
     Em      G          Em   Am                Em 
   Yip-i-ya-a, Yip-i-ya-o, Ghost riders in the sky. 
 
 
2. Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel. 
   Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel. 
   A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky. 
   For as he saw the riders comin hard, he could hear their mournful cry. 
 
3. Their face were gaunt, their eyes were blurred, 
   Their shirts all soaked with sweat, 
   They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught him yet. 
   They've got to ride forevermore on the range up in the sky, 
   On horses snorting fire and as they ride, I hear them cry. 
 
4. And as the riders loped on by he heard one call his name, 
   If you want to save your soul from hell a ridin on the range, 
   Then cowboy better change your ways or with us you will ride, 
   Trying to catch the devil's herd across the endless skies.

Rough lyrics for the first two verses, as I remember them:  

Rollin', rollin', rollin'  
Keep those wagons rollin'  
Keep those wagons rollin', rawhide  
All the things I'm missin'  
Good vittles, love and kissin'  
Wishin' my girl was by my side  

Rollin', rollin', rollin'  
Though those streams are swollen  
Gotta keep 'em rollin', rawhide  
Don't try and understand 'em  
Just rope and throw and brand 'em  
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
