Percy McCoy - Dump Her!

 The latest from Percy McCoy, our resident rock a billy country artist! Were not sure on how old Percy is, but if we had to guess it's be in his late 30's, early 40's.  For being relatively so young he's had by all appearances a tumultuous personal life, especially in matters of the heart. He just got his 4th divorce, and in this song is telling s tale about one of his divorces. He took the advice of what appears to be a fortune teller way down South, and goes back home and ends the marriage.

Percy's song list covers all kinds of subjects. Probably at least some shreds of truth in them, but he is quite a story teller!

Years back I had things goin' on, 

that were a drivin' me outa my mind! 

A job that SUCKED a great big one, 

No happiness could I find! 

 

So I heard 'bout this lady down South, 

That maybe could help me out. 

So went down there, in the deep south,

 And see what 'tis all about..... 

 

Was a place all growed over and crusty, 

with a real ol' gal inside

that were dirty, smelly and musty, 

Dang, I wanted to run away and hide! 

 

She took one look at me, said,"I know what's been ailin' you! 

Yer marriage is in tatters, 

An' it's makin' you mighty blue. 

So I'm a gonna tell you what really matters!”

 

 “Dump the bitch! She ain't no good! 

Pitch her like a rotten 'tater! 

Divorce her you really should,

 Make it sooner, than later!” 

 

Well now, I was taken aback 

by her rapid blunt assessment. 

She ain't got lots a tact, 

But I sure got what she meant. 

 

“Don't matter she makes lots a money, 

Don't matter she's a really good fuck! 

Don't matter if it'll make you lonely, 

Dump her, it'll change yer luck” 

 

She didn't let me say nothin', 

She just kept jaw jackin' me. 

I wanted to explain somethin' 

But she kept on interruptin' me. 

 

 “Dump the bitch! She's a cheatin' witch!

 Toss her like a rotten egg, 

Do it now, now don't you flinch, 

Don't matter how much she begs!” 

 

 I took that ol' gals advice, 

and slipped her a hundred dollar bill. 

Went back home, didn't act nice, 

Told her that I had my fill! 

 

Told her get out, she started bawlin' 

Said that didn't matter none! 

Tol' her GET NOW, without no stallin', 

I knew I 'twernt the only one! 

 

She's been steppin' out I know, 

with one of my best friends, 

She ain't nothin' but a nasty ho'....... 

And it all needs to come to an end! 

 

 It turned right dirty and nasty, 

like I figgered that it would.

 Maybe I was bein' hasty,

 I was doin' what I knew I should! 

 

After I started proceedings 

I went to see my buddy, 

that were doin' all the sleep ins. 

(When I left his mouth was all bloody!) 

 

Lost a wife, what I thought were one a my crew, 

Needed to shape up and get rid of them both! 

Had to act on somethin' I already knew, 

Good advice from that ol' lady.....down south! 

Down south! 

DOWN SOUTH!
