Albert Martin found hisself a woman Debbie Bolin Just a couple miles away You could say they hit it off Not just a matter of convenience No it was love And Albert said he knew The first time he saw Debbie's face Now Debbie and Albert Went and got married Took about a year Circuit preacher done the job They spent a couple nights camping a little time alone And it was love Albert said he knew The first time he saw Debbie's face Albert spent his days building A cabin on his daddy's farm Debbie spent her night's teaching Albert's family how to read She learned 'em the Bible true religion Put away their heathen gods their French popery That's what she called Henri's Catholicism-Popery And they were baptized in the creek Circuit preacher done the job It was love And Albert said he knew The first time he saw Debbie's face Debbie and Albert Waited till the end of the war It took 'em five years Before they had a child He came out wily Full head of curly black hair They named him Albert Junior But they just called him Curly And in a year he had a brother named Tom And Debbie never figured out What went wrong With Curly and Tom They raised 'em on the farm Plantin' and a plowin' Hoein' and weedin' Put a switch to their behinds Debbie taught 'em how to read She learned 'em the Bible Baptized 'em in the creek Circuit preacher didn't mind doin' the job But it never seemed to take For Curly and Tom Whiskey and women Gamblin' and cheatin' Cussin' and fightin' Skippin' out on chores A grief to their momma A shame to their daddy Too big for whuppin' Prayers unanswered And Debbie never figured out what went wrong With Curly and Tom At the general store Cheatin' at cards Curly pulled a gun He shot Eldridge Walker The bullet didn't kill him So Tom struck him with the blade from a plow And Eldridge bled to death Right there on the floor... Debbie and Albert They left with the boys In the middle of the night They fled to Colorado Them boys never changed Never worked an honest day And Debbie always wondered Sometimes she blamed herself But she never figured What went wrong With Curly and Tom
