[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Come all, you handsome single men
D7
And hear my mournful story
D7
For if you live in the single, bless
G
You're in the realms of glory
G
For once, I wed a lovely dame
D7
Because my heart was lonely
D7
Then, one day, she left me flat
G
And sued for alimony
[Chorus]
G
To pay her alimony
D7
To pay her alimony
D7
She had me up in every court in town
G
To pay her alimony
[Verse 2]
G
She watched my tips from morn 'til night
D7
And she counted every dollar
D7
And every time I got a dime
G
I'm sure to hear her holler
G
My pocketbook, I just throwed it away
D7
And I lived on stale bologna
D7
I lied, I borrowed, I stole and robbed
G
To pay that alimony
[Chorus]
G
To pay her alimony
D7
To pay her alimony
D7
She had me up in every court in town
G
To pay her alimony

G
[Verse 3]
G
Well, a message came to me one day
D7
Said that she was slowly sinking
D7
So I hurried quickly to her side
G
To see what she was thinking
G
But in that sad and solemn hour
D7
Her heart, being hard and stony
D7
She just raised her fading eyes to mine
D7 N.C.
And whispered, "Alimony"
[Chorus]
G
To pay her alimony
D7
To pay her alimony
D7
She had me up in every court in town
G
To pay her alimony
[Verse 4]
G
Well, many a year had come and gone
D7
My heart again was gay
D7
Until one night, I chanced to pass
G
The graveyard where she lay
G
Then out from beneath the ghosty tomb
D7
Come a form all lank and bony
D7
And a voice cried out on the midnight hour
D7 N.C.
"Oh, where's my alimony?"
[Chorus]
G
To pay her alimony
D7
To pay her alimony
D7
She had me up in every court in town
G
To pay her alimony
