Cabbagehead

Traditional

[Verse 1]
The night when I came home
Tired as a man would be
I saw a horse in my stable
Where my horse is supposed to be

I said, “wake up, Sally
And explain this mess to me
Whose horse is this in my stable
Where my horse is supposed to be?”

She said, “hush your mouth boy, you’re talking really silly
Open up your eyes and see
That ain’t nothing but an old milk cow
That the farmers lend to me”

I said, “I’ve been all over the world
To the Gulf of Mexico
And I ain’t never saw no milk cows
With saddlеs on their back before”

[Verse 2]
Wеll then the next night when I come
Tired as a man could be
I saw a hat on my dresser
Where my hat was supposed to be

I said, “wake up, Sally
And explain this mess to me
Whose hat is that on my dresser, girl
Where my hat is supposed to be?”

She said, “hush your mouth boy, you’re talking real silly
Open up your eyes and see
That ain’t nothing but an old cabbage
The butcher store man gave to me”

I said, “I’ve been all over the world
To the Gulf of Mexico
And I ain’t never saw no cabbage
With a hairband on it before”

[Verse 3]
Well then the next night when I come
Tired as a man could be
I saw a fella on my front porch
Where I was supposed to be

I said, “wake up, Sally
And explain this mess to me
Who’s that fella out there on my front porch
Where I’m supposed to be?”

She said, “hush your mouth Roy, you’re talking real silly
Open up your eyes and see
That wasn’t nothing but a shadow
You always accusing me”

I said, “I’ve been all over the world
To the Gulf of Mexico
And I ain’t never stumbled over a shadow
In my whole life before”

[Verse 4]
Well then the next night when I come
Tired as a man could be
I saw that same old fella in my bed
Where I was supposed to be

I said, “wake up, Sally
And explain this mess to me
Who’s this guy in my bed by you
Where I’m supposed to be?”

She said, “hush your mouth Roy, you’re talking real silly
Open up your eyes and see
That ain’t nothing but the next door neighbour’s little baby
She lent him to me”

I said, “I’ve been all over the world
To the Gulf of Mexico
And I ain’t never saw no baby
Five feet six before”

[Coda]
And then the next night when I come
The next night when I come
The next night when I come
Yeah, I am all alone

Well, the next night
Well, then the next night
And then the next night
And then the next night
