"I'll Oilwells Love You" lyrics

"I'll Oilwells Love You"

I met a man in Texas and oh, he was so fine
And I said to myself, self, I'm gonna make him mine
He owned a lot of oil wells and his bankroll sure was healthy
I knew that if I married him I'd suddenly be wealthy

Oh, I'll oil wells love you
And I'll oil wells care
And I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells, dear

Well, I never had no money, not a penny to my name
And I said I'd find a rich man and I'd love my way to fame
So he took me in his arms, I cuddled up real near
The money bug then bit me and I whispered in his ear

Oh, I'll oil wells love you
And I'll oil wells care
And I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells, dear

He looked into my eyes and thought he saw a love light shine
Little did he know that that light was dollar signs
Now that we are married there ain't nothin' left to tell
We'll live happily ever after 'cause all is well that ends well

Oh, I'll oil wells love you
And I'll oil wells care
And I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells, dear
I'll oil wells love you
And I'll oil wells care
And I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells, dear
