THIRTEEN WOMEN (And Only One Man In Town)

Bill Haley and His Comets (1954)

Last night I was dreamin'

Dreamed about the H-Bomb

Well the bomb-a went off and I was caught

I was the only man on the ground


There was-a 13 women and only one man in town

Thirteen women and only one man in town

And as funny as it may be

The one and only man in town was me

With 13 women and me the only man around


I had 2 gals every morning

Seein' that I was well fed

And believ-a you me, one sweetened my tea

While another one buttered my bread


Two gals gave me my money

Two gals made me my clothes

And another sweet thing bought me a diamond ring

About forty carats I suppose


Well, 13 women and only one man in town

There was-a 13 women and only one man in town

It was something I can't forget

Because I think of those 13 women yet

Well-a 13 women and only one man around

SOLO GUITAR


I had 3 gals dancin' the Mambo

Three gals ballin' the jack

And-a all-a the rest really did their best

Boy they sure were a lively pack


I thought I was in Heaven

And all of these angels were mine

But I woke up and I ended the dream

'Cause I had to get to work on time


Well-a 13 women and only one man in town

There was-a 13 women and only one man in town

No I can't tell where I've been

'Cause I kinda think that someday I'll go back again

To those 13 women and me the only man around


Well-a 13 women and me the only man around

Well-a 13 women and me the only man around
