He Went Slippin' Around Lyrics - Singles - June Carter Cash

Old Bill Brown was known around town 

For slippin' around at night 

He'd grab a jug and cut a rug 

Man, he'd really live it up right 

Oh, Suzy Brown finally found 

That old Bill was really hip 

She took a bucket of banana peelings 

And throwed 'em on the step 

And he went slippin' around 

Yes, he went slippin' around 

He went slippin' around 

Yes, he went slippin' around 

With a [Incomprehensible] here and a [Incomprehensible] there 

And he finally hit the floor 

[Incomprehensible] never been done 

And it won't be done no more 

And he went slippin' around 

Yes, he went slippin' around 

Bill sat in on a game one night 

Not her didn't intend to stay 

His money flew from left to right 

And he finally went away 

His shoes went here and his shirt went there 

And he finally lost his coat 

He come home about daylight 

And in a borrowed peticoat 

And he went slippin' around 

Yes, he went slippin' around 

He went slippin' around 

Yes, he went slippin' around 

His wife said, "Bill, is that you there comin' in at this hour?" 

Then she let fly between his eyes 

With porpoise hearted flour 

And he went slippin' around 

Yes, he went slippin' around 

Bill, he had a gal downtown 

His ever loving best 

He didn't dream when he met her 

She would get him in a mess 

His wife found out 

That she was not idol of his life 

She put a stop to that ratpick 

With a great big butcher knife 

Now he's through slippin' around 

Yes, he's through slippin' around 

He through slippin' around 

Yes, he through slippin' around 

His spirit rose up from the grave 

And went floating through the air 

He heard a voice from down below saying 

'You ain't goin' up there, 'cause' 

You've been slippin' around 

Yes, you've been slippin' around 

Yes, you've been slippin' around
