She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)

作詞：Tim J. Dubois

Well, I guess it was back in '63
When eatin' my cookin' got the better of me
So I asked this little girl, I was goin' with to be my wife
Well, she said she would, so I said, ‽I do”
But I'da said I wouldn't if I'da just knew
How sayin', 'I do' was gonna screw up all of my life

Well, the first few years weren't all that bad
I'll never forget the good times we had
'Cause I'm reminded every month when I send her the child support
Well, it wasn't too long till the lust all died
And I'll admit I wasn't too surprised
The day I come home and found my suitcase sittin' out on the porch

Well, I tried to get in, she changed the locks
Then I found this note taped on the mailbox
That said, ‽Goodbye, turkey! My attorney will be in touch!”
So I decided right then and there
I's gonna do what's right, give her her fair share
But brother, I didn't know her share's gon' be that much

She got the gold mine, I got the shaft
They split it right down the middle
And then they give her the better half
Well, it all sounds sort of funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft

Now, listen, you ain't heard nothin' yet
Why, they give her the color television set
Then they give her the house, the kids, and both of the cars! See?
Well, then they start talkin' â€~bout child support

Alimony, and the cost of the court
Didn't take me long to figure out how far in the toilet I was

I'm tellin' you, they have made a mistake
'Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes
Besides, everything I ever had worth takin', they've already took
While she's livin' like a queen on alimony
I'm workin' two shifts eatin' baloney
Askin' myself, why didn't you just learn how to cook?

They give her the gold mine, they give me the shaft
They said they're splittin' it all down the middle
But she got the better half
Well, it all sounds mighty funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft

Well, she got the gold mine, I got the shaft
They split it all down the middle
And then they give her the better half
Well, I guess it all sounds funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft

{They ain't kiddin', I got the shaft}

{Well, I don't have to worry â€~bout totin' a billfold n'more
I let my wife tote it, I'mon' be carryin' food stamps
You get it, judge? I'mon' be just
It's not funny, huh?
Contempt of court? What do you mean?
Listen, judge, I's just kiddin'}
