Advice to the Boys
(Recorded by Mr. Frank Anderson, Jackson, Michigan, from
the singing of Tom Hutsell, Maryville Tennessee)

Now, boys, keep away from the girls, I say,
And give them plenty of room
You’ll think you’re sober till the honeymoon’s over
And then you’ll think you’re doomed.

With a cross-eyed baby on each knee,
I’ll tell you it ain’t no fun,
When the butcher come around with the bill to collect
And a dog and a double-barrelled gun.
