Way back in '29, 1929, somewhere in Coffeeville Was a Honky tonk named Big Mable Murphy She had a sweetheart, mean Little Melvin And hell would fly between them every Saturday night Why? Because Little Melvin, he got wild on bathtub gin Well, it made him feel like he was almost twice his size So he'd try to take over and sass Big Mable But her great big fist would black little Melvin's eyes Ya see, Big Mable Murphy, she loved her Little Melvin But he never did learn to do just what she said 'Cause poor Little Melvin, woke up early every morning With two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head Late one rainy night, Scarface, muscle and all might He came in and started shoving everybody around Well, Big Mable Murphy, she was way back in the kitchen So just for fun, ol' Scarface shot Little Melvin down Early next morning, down by the river They say, old Scarface was found real short of breath They say, he died, uhh, oh, the man died from a good ol' whipping He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head Big Mable, Big Mable Murphy She gave him two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head
