Bald Headed End of a Broom Oh love is such a very funny thing It catches the young and old It's just like a plate of boardinghouse hash To many a man it is sold It makes you feel like a fresh water eel Causes your head to swell You'll lose your mind for love is blind It empties your pocket book as well Oh boys, stay away from the girls, I say Oh give them lots of room They'll find you and you'll wed And they'll bang you till you're dead With the bald headed end of a broom When a man is a going on a pretty little girl His love is firm and strong But when he has to feed them on hash His love won't last so long With a wife and seven half starved kids Boys I'll tell you it is no fun When the butcher comes around to collect his debts With a dog and a double barreled gun When your money is gone and your clothing in hock You'll find the old saying it is true That a mole on the arm's worth two on the legs But what is he going to do recorded by Uncle Monroe on Folk Legacy Beech Mountain SOF
