G-I-R-L SPELLS TROUBLE 
(Ernest Tubb / Arbie Gibson)

Ernest Tubb - 1950


G-I-R-L Spells Trouble
But a man just can’t get along without ‘um

G-I-R-L Spells Trouble
But what in the world we going to do about ‘um

Now if they want to love you and call you there own
A gal can make a good man leave his home
There’s nothing like the fury of a woman scorned
She can make a man wish he’d never been born

G-I-R-L Spells Trouble
But a man just can’t get along without ‘um

Ah bashful Billy Byrd now
INSTRUMENTALS

Girls…  Girls...  Girls...
There just plain misery

Now fella’s listen here 
Here’s the way it looks to me

G-I-R-L Spells Trouble
But a man just can’t get along without ‘um

G-I-R-L Spells Trouble
But what in the heck we going to do about ‘um

Now if they want to love you and call you there own
A gal can make a good man leave his home
There’s nothing like the fury of a woman scorned
She can make a man wish he’d never been born

G-I-R-L Spells Trouble
But a man just can’t get along without ‘um

I’m just confessing
But a man just can’t get along without ‘um
