My friend, fixed me up
with a girl he said he knew.
He guaranteed we'd get
along just fine.
And when I went to pick her up,
I found out what he meant.
He knows that strange and weary things
are a hobby of mine.
I wouldn't take her to a dogfight
Or any other place I've ever been
I wouldn't take her to a dogfight
Not even if she had a chance to win
Curiosity, they say, killed the cat
And I've been the curious sort
all of my life
I hung around convinced she
couldn't really look that bad
She got me drunk
and when I woke up I had a wife
I wouldn't take her to a dog fight
Or any other place I've ever been
I wouldn't take her to a dog fight
Not even if she had a chance to win
Well, now the years have passed
and our daughter's in her teens
Her boyfriend comes and
hangs around the place
He nev er takes her anywhere,
I don't dare ask him why
Cause she's the spittin' image
of her mama in the face
And I wouldn't take her to a dog fight
Or any other place I've ever been
I wouldn't take her to a dogfight
Not even if she had a chance to win
I wouldn't take her to a dogfight
Or any other place I've ever been
I wouldn't take her to a dogfight
