I'm Goung for a Walk
(Ed Silberman)
Oh, friends I have a sad story
And I'll tell it so clear and so plain
I married a woman named Molly
But I bring her a world full of pain
She's the rose of my heart and my treasure
And that's why I just don't understand
Why when we disagree I get bothered
And I give her the back of my hand
CHO: So I'm getting my coat and I'm going for a walk
Just to get the wife out of my danger
To pick through my mind in hopes somewhere to find
Why I've become such a stranger
Oh, it isn't because I don't love her
Sometimes we're so tender and soft
But then I'll fly off in a temper
With a rage I can't seem to turn off
When I was a kid, the folks quarreled
And sometimes my dad used his hand
And I stood and I stared in amazement
"I'll never be that kind of man"
CHO
Now some say I should go a doctor
And some say I should go see the priest
And some say I should find a new living
For my job turns me into a beast
And at night when I look on my children
I know I'm not raising them right
For I know children bicker and quarrel
But I see Jimmy's learning to fight
