Lyrics

There ain't enough raised right men I said there ain't enough raised right men It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen I said there ain't enough raised right men Heavens to murgatroid, miners to coal A good woman can make a diamond out of a measly lump of coal And you need the patience of a glacier, if you can wait that long Open up his window and admit it when you're wrong There ain't enough raised right, ain't enough raised right men I said there ain't enough raised right men It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen I said there ain't enough raised right men Mackey Debiasi was a complicated man He quarreled with his woman and she quarreled with her man And his head was just too thick, so she knocked out a tooth He's that lonely man on the turnpike in the tolltaker's booth There ain't enough raised right, ain't enough raised right men I said there just ain't enough raised right men, huh It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen I said there ain't enough raised right men Gunplay Maxwell and Flat Nose George Icepick Ed Newcomb on a slab in the morgue Flat Nose looked at Gunplay and they all looked at me With a good woman's love, we could have saved all three There ain't enough raised right, ain't enough raised right Ain't enough raised right, ain't enough raised right men I said there ain't enough raised right men It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen I said, ain't enough raised right men I said there ain't enough raised right men I said there ain't enough raised right men Where all the raised right men?
