(Dallas Frazier)      Way back in '29 somewhere in Coffeeville   Was a honky tonk named Big Mable Murphy's   She had a sweetheart named Little Melvin   And hair would fly between them every night.      They say Little Melvin got wild on bathtub gin   'Cause it made him grow to almost twice his size   He'd try to take over and sass Big Mable   And her great big fist would black Little Melvin's eyes.      Big Mable Murphy she loved Little Melvin   But he never did learn to do just what she said   'Cause poor Little Melvin woke up every morning   With two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head.      Then late one rainy night Scarface Mouzziola   Came in and started shoving folks around   Big Mable Murphy was back in the kitchen   So just for fun he shot Little Melvin down.      Early next morning down by the river   Scarface Mouzziola was found real short of breath   They say that Scarface had died from a whoopin'   He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head.      Big Mable Murphy's place raved on until she died   And they say sometimes a tear would fill her eye   And then she'd whisper Lord I'd give anything   If once more I could black Little Melvin's eyes...
