I wrote it one night while drowning my love-sorrows drinking Jack Daniels whiskey and wondering if he had wife problems being out all night with an angry wife at home too.

OLD JACK DANIEL’S WIFE
Verse 1:
Well I’m sitting all alone, with Mister Daniels and a smoke,
Waiting for that telephone to ring;
And I really think I ought to admit, that if it rang I’d be too blitzed,
to say hello or any other thing
Verse 2:
You see a bottle of Jack and me, make some mighty fine company,
To kill the pain each night since you’ve been gone,
But I feel just a little concerned, that Mrs. Daniels might get hurt
Cause the past four nights I’ve kept Jack from his home
Chorus:
And old Jack’s wife Mrs. Daniels don’t you give up on your man,
Your husbands occupation is to lend a helping hand,
To cowboys sad and lonely who have given up on love,
Don’tcha fret Mrs. Daniels he’ll be home ‘fore the morning sun
Verse 3:
Now he’s never ever mentioned a word, what his little woman thinks of his work,
But I can tell by looking in his eyes;
That he spends every night on the job, and his wife don’t like it at all,
Cause he won’t go home until I’m feeling fine
Chorus:
And old Jack’s wife Mrs. Daniels don’t you give up on your man,
Your husbands occupation is to lend a helping hand,
To cowboys sad and lonely who have given up on love,
Don’tcha fret Mrs. Daniels he’ll be home ‘fore the morning sun
Verse 4:
Well it’s three forty-five in the morn, with one drop left in this quart,
Mister jack I tip my hat to you,
Cause I don’t even ‘member her name, nor the heartache, tears or the pain,
Go home Jack, your wife could use you too
Chorus:
And old Jack’s wife Mrs. Daniels don’t you give up on your man,
Your husbands occupation is to lend a helping hand,
To cowboys sad and lonely who have given up on love,
Don’tcha fret Mrs. Daniels he’ll be home ‘fore the morning sun
