Big Mable Murphy Lyrics - Home Style/story Teller - Brook Benton

Way back in '29 

Somewhere in Coffeeville 

Was a honky tonk named, Big Mable Murphy's 

She had a sweetheart, name Little Melvin 

And the hair would fly between them Every Saturday night 

They say Little Melvin he got wild on bathtub gin 

'cause it made him grow to almost twice his size 

He'd try to take over, mmm and sass Big Mable 

and her great big fists would blacken Little Melvin's eyes

Big Mable Murphy she loved 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 

Then late one rainy night Scarface Moosoluna 

Oh he came in and started shovin' folks around 

Big Mable Murphy, while she was way back in the kitchen 

So just for fun old Scarface shot Little Melvin down 

Early next morning down by the river 

They tell me Scarface Moosoluna was found real short of breath 

They say that Scarface had died from a good whoopin' 

He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head

Big Mable Murphy's place raved on until she died 

And they say sometimes a tear would fill her eye 

And then she whispered, Lord I'd give anything if once more I could blacken Little Melvin's eyes 

Hey Big Mable, Big Mable Murphy, Big Mable Murphy
