"Your Ole Handy Man" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

I have to mow the lawn and I have to wash the car
And I'd just like to know just who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of wagging that old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.

I have to run your water and I have to wash your back
And I have to scrub the tub after you have had your bath
You're as helpless as a baby but I love you, understand
I'm just gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.

Your woman's gettin' tired of bein' your ole handy man
Now I know you've got ten fingers but where's your helpin' hand
Ah, I've just made a decision, I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.

--- Instrumental ---

I do everything for you you never help yourself
An' I think I'd die from shock if you raised a hand to help
Well, I'm not gonna keep it up that's what you got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you got ten fingers but where's that helpin' hand
Ah, I've just made a decision, I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man.

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man...
