I was walking, with my own two feet
I was dancing, with anyone that'd dance with me
Galavanting lord, it was plenty plain to see
I ain't gonna do much dancing anymore
I was talking to the rich folks up the street
They was asking me about the holes in my feet
Told 'em I was dancing with anyone that'd dance with me
They said that's fine don't dance with Davey's wife
Davy's wife, davy's wife
You look so nice
But you'll go dancing holes into my heart
If you offer me a bed, I'll look anywhere else instead
'cuz I know good and well you're davy's wife
I was walking, walking up the street
when I saw Laurie, Lordy - she came up to me
she said I saw you dancing with everyone but me
I said that's fine 'cuz you're crazy davy's wife
She said boy, have you heard of hearsay and conjecture
she said boy, I'm insisting that you make a gesture
I said, I didn't wanna be rude little girl, I just didn't want to intrude
On the lady they call crazy davy's wife
Davy's wife, davy's wife
You look so nice
But you'll go dancing holes into my heart
If you offer me a bed, I'll look anywhere else instead
'cuz I know good and well you're davy's wife
She took me, took me by the hand
we went dancing, dancing all over town
All the other girls looked mad, when they saw us hand & hand
but when she whispered into my ear, I couldn't see or hear
I found out pretty soon what it means to be made a liar
I found out soon, why you don't lay down beside her
Davy's big and mean, his gun is long and lean
That old 44 was the last thing that I seen
Davy's wife, davy's wife
You look so nice
But you'll go dancing holes into my heart
If you offer me a bed, I'll look anywhere else instead
'cuz I know good and well you're davy's wife
