I WOULDN'T TAKE HER TO A DOG FIGHT 
Recorded by Charlie Walker 
Words and music by T. Snow & L. Kingston 
 
D
My friend - he fixed me up 
     E
With a girl he said he knew 
   A7                             D       A7
He guarenteed we'd get along just fine ... 
    D      
And when I went to pick her up 
  E
I found out what he meant 
   A7
He knows that strange and weary things 
      G        D
Are a hobby of mine. 
 
CHORUS 
D                        E
I wouldn't take her to a dog fight 
   A7                        D       A7
Or any other place I've ever been ... 
D                        E
I wouldn't take her to a dog fight 
    A7                          D
Not even if she had a chance to win. 
 
Cu-ri-os-i-ty; They say killed the cat 
And I've been the curious sort all of my life 
I hung around convinced; She couldn't really look that bad 
She got me drunk and when I woke up; I found I had a wife. 
 
CHORUS 
 
(Note. Changes to Eb on record - same chord progression) 
Well, now the years have passed; Our daughter's in her teens 
Her boyfriend comes; And hangs around the place 
He never takes her anywhere; I don't dare ask him why 
'Cause she's the spittin' image; Of her mama in the face. (And - ) 
 
CHORUS
