I once met a country gentleman's wife
   D                    A       
who told me of ev'rything she owned.
    Bm          F#m             D       Bm
Show showed me her diamond bracelets
        D                       A
and talked about her stately home.
      Bm         E7           A7
And all thru the conversation
     G            A     D      Bm
her hand was on my knee,
     G       Em     A7
but oh no country gentleman's wife
     Bm     G       D           E7
is gonna get possession of me.

She told me her country gentleman
     D                   A
was hardly ever at home
    Bm     F#m      D   Bm
and if I would like to call on her
    D                   A
she'd make sure we were alone.
       Bm       E7        A7
And if I liked we could have supper
       G            A         D     Bm
with sparkling champagne,
        G    Em     A7

was sixty five years old,
     Bm    F#m        D    Bm
and as she was only thirty one
     D               A
her bed at night was cold.

And if I would like to warm it up

she'd shower me with gratitude,
        G       Em      A7

      Bm            F#m     D   Bm
but if she really wanted to
     D              A
she might persuade me somehow
     Bm      E7         A7
for one square meal of every day
     G          A       D       Bm
an unlimited supply of booze,
        G       Em      A7
and any old country gentleman's wife
     Bm      G       D          E7
can do anything they choose,
