Joe Dassin - Lustful Earl and the Married Woman lyrics

Now, big earl Grand Joe, he was a lone wolf
He was always on the prowl
And when he'd go out to find a woman
He could hear his awful howl:

Ahooo hoo hoo ahooo hoo hoo
Baby I’m comin' for you ahoo ahoo ahoo

Now, Lucy Dorcey, she was a pretty thing
But you know, she was married
Whenever she see him, old big earl coming
She'd hide the ring she was wearing
Ahooo all right! This went on every night
Big earl would howl for more
But then one night there came
A-poundin’ on the door

There went her husband he
Knocked the door down
And he grabbed her ferociously
She said, "Earl, honey
Would you call the police
'Cause I believe, he's a-killin' me…"

He turned on earl with the gun
There was no chance to run
He said, "You've had it, son"
But he'd missed and shot
Him through the knee

Well, old earl, he jumped outa the window
He was naked and limping down the road
And you could hear him
Howling in the distance
But he sounded like a wounded toad:

"Ahoooie why did you shoot me in the knee?
I was just trying to do
The thing that comes naturally!"
