Sobbin' Women

[00:00.07] Tell ya 'bout them sobbin' women
[00:02.56] Who lived in the Roman days
[00:04.94] It seems that they all went swimmin'
[00:07.16] While their men was off to graze
[00:09.72] Well, a Roman troop was ridin' by
[00:12.46] And saw them in their me-oh-my
[00:14.68] So they took 'em all back home to dry
[00:17.36] 'Least that's what Plutarch says!
[00:19.35] Oh yes, them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin', fit to be tied
[00:24.93] Every muscle was throbbin', throbbin' from that riotous ride
[00:29.74] Seems they cried and kissed and kissed and cried
[00:32.80] All over that Roman countryside
[00:35.18] So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride!
[00:40.14] Sobbin' fit to be tied
[00:42.69] From that riotous ride!
[00:44.75]
[00:48.23] They never did return their plunder
[00:50.68] The victor gets all the loot
[00:52.91] They carried 'em home by thunder to rotundas small, but cute
[00:57.96] And you've never seen, so they tell me, such downright domesticity
[01:02.75] With a Roman baby on each knee named "Claudius" and "Brute"
[01:07.36] Oh, yes! Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' passin' them nights
[01:12.82] While the Romans was goin' out hobnobbing, startin' up fights
[01:17.65] They kept occupied by sewin' lots of little old togas for them tots
[01:23.13] And sayin', "Someday, women folks'll have rights!"
[01:28.62] (Passin' all of their nights) Just sewin'!
[01:30.94] (While the Romans had fights)
[01:33.70] Now, when the men folk went to fetch 'em
[01:36.50] The women would not be fetched
[01:38.71] It seems when the Romans catch 'em
[01:41.12] Their lady friends stay catched!
[01:42.93] Right! Now let this be, because it's true
[01:46.09] A lesson to the likes of you
[01:48.28] Rough 'em up like them their Romans do
[01:50.57] Or else they'll think you're tetched
[01:52.75] Oh, yes! Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' buckets of tears (oh, mighty sad!)
[01:58.30] On account of old dobbin', dobbin' really rattled their ears (and that ain't all!)
[02:03.03] Oh, they acted angry and annoyed (but secretly they was overjoyed!)
[02:08.44] You might recall that when corralin' your steers!
[02:12.56] (Oh, oh, oh, them poor little dears!)
[02:17.70] Oh, yes! Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin', weepin' a ton (oh yes, them sobbin' women!)
[02:23.08] Just remember what Robin, Robin, Robin Hood woulda done (yes, them sobbin' women!)
[02:27.90] We'll be just like them three merry men (oh yes)
[02:32.19] And make 'em all merry once again (them sobbin' women!)
[02:33.66] And though they'll be a-sobbin' for a while (oh, yes!)
[02:38.14] We're gonna make them sobbin' women smile!
