Verse 1
When I left home
I got a date
My papa said
Don't stay out too late
He took me home
Put grits on the griddle
But you know
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with
You
Verse 2
When I left work
Nowhere to go
My boss's wife said
Don't be slow
She took me home
To play my fiddle
But you know me
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with
You
Verse 3
I got to thirty
Played around
My new friend said
Just don't get found
She cooked my food
It started to sizzle
But you know me
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with
You
Verse 4
Now I'm wed
I've got a wife
But you know
I got no strife
Cos you know
Life ain't no riddle
And you know me
I went straight down the middle
Straight down the middle
Is all she blew
And that's where I'm going with
You
