Alan Hull Country Gentleman's Wife Lyrics

I once met a country gentleman's wife who told me of everything she owned He showed me her diamond bracelets and talked about her stately home And all through the conversation, her hand was on my knee But oh no country gentleman's wife is gonna get possession of me.

She told me her country gentleman was hardly ever at home And if I would like to call on her, she'd make sure we were alone And if I liked we could have supper with sparkling champagne But oh no country gentleman's wife is gonna get me for game.

She told me her country gentleman was sixty five years old And as she was only thirty one, her bed at night was cold And if I would like to warm it up, she'd shower me with gratitude But oh no country gentleman's wife is gonna get me in the nude.
I said I was a man with principles and respected the marriage vows But if she really wanted to, she might persuade me somehow For one square meal of every day, an unlimited supply of booze And any old country gentleman's wife can do anything they choose Any old country gentleman's wife can do anything they choose.
