(THE) OLD MAID AND THE BURGLAR – THE STONEMANS 1928
[Verse 1]
I will tell you a story of a burglar man
Who wanted to rob a house
He peeped in at the window
An' in he crept as quietly as a mouse
Then thinking about the money he'd get,
As under the bed he lay.
At nine o’clock he saw a sight,
That made his hair turn gray
[BREAK ON LAST 2 LINES OF VERSE]
[Verse 2]
At nine o'clock an old maid came in.
“I am so tired,” she said.
Then think - ing ev’ry thing was well
She forgot t' look under the bed.
She pulled out her teeth an' her big glass eye
An' the hair from off her head.
That burglar man had twenty-one fits
As he came from under the bed
[BREAK ON LAST 2 LINES OF VERSE]
[Verse 3]
She did not holler or scream at all.
She stood as meek as a lamb.
She said, “Oh, Lord, my prayer is answered.
At last, I’ve got me a man.
I’ve waited for forty-one years or more
You’re the only chance I will get.
I’ll marry up with you, old boy.
I won’t lose you, You bet!"
[BREAK] – ON LAST 2 LINES OF VERSE
[Verse 4]
From out of a drawer, a revolver she drew.
And to that bur – g - lar said,
“Young man, if you don’t marry me,
I’ll blow off the top of your head.”
He looked at her teeth and her big glass eye.
He had no way to scoot.
He looked at the old maid standing there
An’ said, "Woman, for the Lord’s sake, SHOOT!”
