One Suit

One Suit - Tennessee Ernie Ford

One suit

One suit was all I had

One suit

One suit was all I had

One suit

One suit was all I had

And it was nothing but and old gray be a flat

I had the best lookin' girl in town

And she weighed about a hundred and eleven pounds

But I felt so shamed when I called on her

'Cause I was ragged as a great big cup over

One suit

One suit was all I had

One suit

Hmmmm one suit was all I had

One suit

One suit was all I had

And it was nothin' but an old gray beat up plaid

Now the cups are frayed

The pants are shiny

Got a rip in the seam

That ain't exactly tiny

Pleats in the front

Belt in the back

I got a great like a shape of a flower sack

When my girl took me to her home

And her mama put the pots and the skillets on

But I ate one helpin' and that was all

'Cause if I gained a pound my suit would

Eww be too small

One suit

One suit was all I had

One suit

One suit was all I had

One suit

One suit was all I had

And it was nothin' but an old gray beat up plaid

I close my story with these few lines

As I stand here a diggin' those men's wear signs

With my pockets empty as they can be

Well you're in bad shape buddy if you look like me
